The belt tensioner is responsible for keeping proper tension on the belt at all times and during all running conditions. When the tensioner ages, it loses some of the spring tension and can allow the belt to slip if left unchecked. Turner Motorsport carries Genuine BMW and high quality aftermarket options to get you back on the road in no time.

The Hydraulic Alternator Belt Tensioner is exposed to a lot of dirt, salt, and other debris due to its front lower location. This can cause the tensioner to seize and not allow the belt tensioner to adjust. Replace your belt tensioner with this OEM high quality hydraulic tensioner for many years of reliable operation to come.

For Air Conditioning A/C Belt

Hydraulic Belt Tensioner for E36, E39, Z3 6-cyl models. This is the oil-filled tensioner that keeps the A/C belt in the proper tension. Over time the piston seals inside allow fluid to leak out. The tensioner becomes frozen or inoperable. Replacement is the best corrective action to take. This can be done during any belt or pulley service or anytime the fan is off the engine.
When doing any sort of repair or maintenance there is no replacement for genuine factory parts. Turner Motorsport carries the Genuine BMW brand with pride and has the parts you need to complete your next project with confidence.
