Re: Pulley Squeak From AirCon Belt/Crank Pulley replaced/All tensioners/Belts Replac

Ok, I have success at last.

I have replaced the Air Con Pulley and belt and had the system evacuated and re gassed and now everything has settled down.

All I need to do now is understand why the AUX fan kicks in when the AirCon is switch off and the outside temp is 12c?

Re: Pulley Squeak From AirCon Belt/Crank Pulley replaced/All tensioners/Belts Replac

The clutch on the A/C pump engages and works and the fan kicks in to cool the rad however. With the A/C off I have noted the AUX fan kicking in assume the A/C is triggering it as the car temp is still normal, I wasn't sure if waterloos coolant can alter the temp sensor so replaced it.. Can the ...

Re: 2004 E53 4.4 Sport 4 sale - Pictures today

Good Afternoon,

I am over in Bidedenden and the father in law is looking to replace his 3.0i X5 manual.

What level of MPG would the 4.4 v8 be delivering.  He would only use it at weekends so.

Re: Pulley Squeak From AirCon Belt/Crank Pulley replaced/All tensioners/Belts Replac

The pump is spinning but I assume that unless the A/C is engaged then it's not engaged. The other devices running on the other belt have all been services and they have no issue massive cost from BMW. They replaced my rear sub frame bushes and left my with a whining noise which eventually turned out ...
