F30 AC + alternator belt change interval?

bavarianride · 09-18-2018, 07:36 PM

So my N26 only has a single belt:

Ribbed v-belt 6PKX1003 1 11287618848

What is change interval of that belt?

Serpentine belts are usually good for 60k miles, though I doubt many get replaced until they break. I treat mine with belt conditioner every 4,000 miles, which for me is yearly as part of my spring maintenance routine.

Wow first time heard of belt conditioner, any link to purchase one?

I replaced mine at 64k. Could have went maybe 10k more but I just replaced it for a piece of mind. Here is the DIY for the N20 model. Should be similar for the N26

This is probably one of those items that's cheaper at a local auto parts store.
