N54 Belt Replacement - need to remove intake piping?
Went to change my belt, tensioner and idler pulleys last night thinking it would be a quick job based on an N52 write up I found. Unfortunately it appears the intake piping completely blocks most of the space, and I was only able to replace the tensioner, not the belt or pulleys, without removing it in the time I had.
Anyone have experience with this? Does the intake piping really need to be removed or are there some tips for working around it? If it does need to be removed, any DIYs? |

Do you have the stock air box on? I have DCI and I just removed the front cone and unclipped some of the piping to push it out of the way. You have to remove the fan as well.

If your auto make sure to disconnect the transmission cooler from under the car. It is secured to the fan so you won't be able to remove the fan unless you unbolt the cooler.
