Tensioner for BMW X Series E53 (2000-2006)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

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.

For Alternator / Water Pump Belt

Hydraulic Belt Tensioner for E36, E46, E39 6-cyl models. This is the oil-filled tensioner that keeps the main drive 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.
