Simca 49 Report post Posted June 21, 2022 Hey guys Just bought this early (non vanos) e39 540i. Previous owner took a stab at replacing the alternator and lost the belt tensioner and idler pulley and essentially everything to hold it in and the bolts for the alternator. Sort of almost looking for someone parting out a whole non vanos m62, so i can grab all the alternator belt stuff from it to save myself from spending years trying to accumulate everything. Any leads would be appreciated Cheers Quinn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I don't know anyone (or anyone well enough, that I could also trust with a spanner) in Tauranga. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simca 49 Report post Posted June 22, 2022 Ok so, what I need is: Almost everything on this picture. 2 - 11281742013 - Adjusting bracket with pulley 6 - 11281704500 - 70mm Deflection pulley 7 - 07119900236 - Bolt (think this ones fatter than a normal bolt for the bearing stuff 8 - 11281727159 - Cap 9 - 11281704935 - Tension adjust lever (this one I think I'll have the hardest time finding) 12 - 11281736857 - Belt tensioner (this ones just expensive new) the bolts I think I can size up and get locally, maybe I can get the pulleys too but I'll have to do some research. The small adjuster lever bracket is what's scaring me, not a lot of availability around for those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 547 Report post Posted June 22, 2022 All those parts including bolts are available from schmiedmann for a reasonable price except #12 which is pretty expensive. Buying stuff like that hurts when it's available at a scrapyard for dirt cheap though. There's 4 or 5 at the auckland scrapyards that all have those bits. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the tensioner itself is the same as on the alternator setup, so if I do end up having to piece it all together I'll get in touch. Having a mate check a yard in Auckland tomorrow that might have some bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
