    A/C belt Q?

    Ok I put the right size belt (890) on my car last week, and it is already loose and making noise, as far as I know there is no way to adjust the belt correct? Reference the car is a 91 318i, M42.

    So my main question is the belt loose because I bought a shitty O'Reilly belt?
    or should I try to jam a 888-889, on there, so when it loosens up it will still be tight?

    realoem says the belt is an 885, im pretty certain theres an adjustment, how did you get the belt on?

      I took the compresor off to get it on and it was still a bitch!. I had to stretch the shit out of a 890. Threre is the main central v belt area, then to the lower there is a rubber pulley but I don't see how you adjust it, the owners manual says 890.

      There has to be an adjuster, if anyone knows how to adjust a a/c belt chime in as it is hot as fuck in KS.

      I million sweat beaded thanks
