BMW Accessory Drive Belt Kit - 11287636378KT

Complete drive belt kit featuring OE Contitech accessory belts and OE INA tensioner components

Your BMW's drive belt system is important for numerous reasons. The primary purpose of drive belts is to "drive" the accessories which makes your vehicle run and function properly. The main drive belt also known as an accessory belt, drives all of the accessories including water pump, power steering pump, and alternator. The A/C drive belt on the other hand drives the A/C compressor. Serpentine belts have a pretty long service life and should be replaced every 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes fits.

The drive belts are not the only component of the drive belt system that's critical. The tensioner dampers and pulleys all play a roll in keeping the drive belts properly tensioned and guided under all engine loads. Belts can stretch with higher engine loads and the tensioners and pulleys must maintain proper tension on the belts or they can fall off resulting in serious problems. These components also have a service life and should be replaced as needed.

This comprehensive kit from FCP Euro is designed to service the entire drive belt system in one service. It includes Contitech drive belts and all OEM components to ensure a long service life.

Please note: Early production vehicles listed in the fitment guide may still be equipped with the factory installed mechanical (spring loaded) tensioner. This setup does not have an idler pulley installed. Since the mechanical tensioner is no longer available it is required to update to the newer style tensioner which also requires an idler pulley being installed.
