Them tensioners have a tab connected to a cable like mechanism which releases the tension on the pulley. Litteraly just seen this on a Peugeot Rcz video which must use same/similar engine setup. Just for anyone who doesn't own a diagnostics tool 👍🏻 Great videos by the way.
I dont blame you mate. Quite a common part to fail apparently. Video I watched had what sounded like bottom end knock which a garage suggested engine replacement! The tensioner was replaced along with water pump and belt which cured problem.
Hi O'Rileys, Just noticed that the water pump pulleys has a lot 'surface cracks' on it. Does it need to be replaced as well? The video shows that the you had put it back the old pulley. Assume it is normal for the pulley to be like that. As my car is the same as the one in the video, where the water pump pulley has surface cracks. Could you please assist? Thank you. Great Video. One of the easiest water pump replacement job.
Friction Wheel Pulley Drive Tensioner BMW n13 Does it need to be adapted, when I start the engine, it pulls back after a few seconds and the pump always turns.

I did see the tab but it looked so flimsy and brittle I didn't want to touch it and be liable for a replacement part

Salvage Rebuilds UK 👍, they get so much variation in cars I always learn something new, like with Jimmy's channel.
@@MrZimmaframe yes mate, another very informative channel. Likewise I'm always learning something new 👌🏼
@@biglad1292 from searching this after making the video it's a common part so can't believe I haven't seen one before

Does the engine need to be cold. I can't seem to release the connector pulley from the water pump pulley.
Thank you for video.
Is it the same way for 1 series 2011 116d model?

I believe the water pump should always turn when the engine is running to circulate coolant
Nice of him to ask if you want a drink lol. Can't stand it when people don't offer on a hot day and just watch you work through the window 😂.
Bloody good job! (Pun intended)
Helped me a lot here.
Nice Video.
