BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Alternator
Operation: Replacement belt and alternator of a BMW 5

Do we have the alternator that doesn't charge anymore? Let's see how the alternator is removed from inside the engine compartment of a BMW 5 Series. We open the engine compartment, remove the battery terminals for safety. We disassemble the various pipes and the air filter container to get to the alternator belt to remove it. We remove the alternator from inside the dedicated compartment (tightening screws on the sides), we remove the belt. We unscrew and remove the alternator from inside the engine compartment. We assemble a new piece with the same characteristics as the disassembled one. At the end of the maintenance we just have to connect the new belt to the alternator and the terminals to the battery.
