how replace the ac belt at bmw 520 i touring??
These use an auto tensioner. The tensoiner (if in proper working condition), will adjust the belt by itself.
If your timing belt has cracks in it both inside and out, replace it!
The timing belt and head gasket are two different things. To replace the head gasket you will have to remove the head necessitating removing the timing belt. If you are going to replace your head gasket it is best to put a new timing belt, a timing belt tensioner and possibly a new water pump. BMW recommends changing the timing belt every 60K miles and the water pump every 120K miles. The belts and pumps are not that expensive and it beats having to go back in and replace them later. Note that on the M3's there is a timing chain rather than a belt.
For a BMW, the cost for a replacement transmission will be between $2000-$2500. This not including the labor cost.
