replacing my belts, what else should i do in there?

[infinity5]

Pulleys? tensioners? sensors? etc etc? what else is probably dead or near death at 120Kmiles? any tools i'm going to need to get this done other than the usual stuff? and i've heard a whole lot of issues regarding belt size.... can i just go by realoem.com and buy from bma without worries?

If you want to make sure you have the 100% right belt size, go to the dealer.

Thats not an assurance.

On the belts, I received an A/C belt from BMA that was shorter than the original belt.

While your down ther check the hoses for cracks & bulges, look for oil leaks around the pan and seals.

True - the $tealership's given me incorrect belts before.

Edit: not ACTUALLY incorrect -- they were the right size according the the ETK, but there's no way in hell you can fit a 1035 or whatever they gave me when the manual calls for a 1055 (I believe....this is going back a ways now) unless you're a GA-RILLA with superhuman strength and can loosen that sucker out.

What a pain it was, too -- 45 minute drive both way to return the damn things...and I had to go out there TWICE to return them. Read more in my "e34 hell" thread from January 05.

Best, whit

At my dealer, it is ;-)
