    M50 Upper tensioner

    Hey there.

    Does anyone post a pic of how the top belt tensioner goes on in an M50? I have a 95 e34 that i recieved with all the accessories taken off and i just cant seem to figure out how the top tensioner even mounts. Im starting to think I'm missing some bracket somewhere..

    Thanks in advance!

        hehe yes all the pictures that i have found so far have either the radiator hose or alternator cooling ducting in the way.. I can see the pulley.. but i just cant figure out how it mounts in relation to the alternator etc. I simply dont have enough holes.

          Are you talking about the dummy tensioner that is to the left of the alternator?

            The engine already has that pulley in the middle, is that the only tensioner there should be?

              That idler pulley should just bolt in to the oil filter housing.

                There are 20 parts and 2 pulleys in that pic Einstein.

                  Heh. I bought the engine as a complete but parted package from the junkyard.. and one of the items is the assembled #2,4,8 device. A similar tensioner is on the other side of the engine acting as the tensioner for the A/C compressor. Going by the RealOEM diagram, this one seems like it is the tensioner for the alternator belt.. i just cant really place it anywhere. It is possible that they just gave me it but it doesnt really go anywhere.. that's why i need a clear pic or diagram to figure out what im doing with it..

                    The one that is already on the engine looks like this:

                    Can i conclude that the other one is just an extra piece that doesnt co anywhere?

                      The tensioner setup in the 2nd picture is a spring type, the first one is a hydraulic tensioner. Only one is needed.
