Hi Forum

Has anyone change a serpentine belt on the 2006 L322 V8 JAG Engine ?

Can find lots of info on the BMW engine but not the JAG , any pointers gratefully recieved

Cheers

Hi, been ages since I did it (at the same time as the alternator)

IIRC the fan shroud was a pain to remove, have to take care of the Air Con pipes and there is much flexing and swearing to get it shifted. The fan itself was quite easy with a cranked fan spanner and a home made stick to wedge the mechanism, one sharp tap got the viscous coupling loose.

After that it was just a matter of putting a 12" adjustable on the tensioner with a pipe over the end to move that out of the way and the belt came off quite easily, of course paying attention to it's route before removing

Sorry I don't have much more detail. Formerly happymadison1978
