Maintenance
loose, hose is damaged, or connection is dirty or corroded.
Dried coolant has achalky appearance. Hoses should be firm
and springy. Replace any hose that is cracked, has become
soft and limp, or has been contaminated by oil.
4 As a preventive measure, replacement of the cooling system
hoses every four years is recommended. The illustration
shows examples of damage to coolant hoses. Any of these
conditions is cause for replacement (illustration courtesy of
/ Abrasion Damaged Hose Heat Damaged Hose 1 Gates Rubber Company, I~c.).
Engine drive belt, replacing
Drive belts and pulleys transfer power from the engine crank-
shaft to various accessories.
E39 models use two polyribbed
(serpentine) belts:
The outer belt turns the
NC compressor.
0 The inner, longer belt turns the alternator (generator), cool-
ant pump and power steering pump.
Inspect drive belts with the engine off. If the belt shows signs
of wear, cracking, glazing, or missing sections, it should be
replaced
immediately. To reduce the chance of belt failure
while driving, replacement of the belts every four years is
recommended.
WARNING -
Observe care when replacing belts. Personal injury could
result if a tensioner springs back into position uncontrolled.
CA UTIOI\C
Mark drive belt rotation direction if removing and reusing an
old belt.
NOTE-
When belts are replaced with new ones, store the old set in
the trunk for emergency use.
All models, use
BMW special tools 11 5 030 and 11 5 040 to
loosen and remove cooling fan and clutch from coolant
pump.
NOTE-
32 mm cooling fan nut has left-hand threads
If necessary, remove fan cowl from radiator.

Two types of belt tensioners are used on the V-8 engines.
The tensioner shown in this procedure is for cars built up to
8/97. The later style tensioner is similar.

Idle speed
Engine idle speed can change due to a number of factors, in-
cluding normal wear. The idle speed is electronically adaptive
and not adjustable. See
130 Fuel Injection for more informa-
tion.
Catalytic converter and oxygen sensors
OBD II enhanced emission standards require the engine
control module (ECM) to monitor the oxygen content in the
exhaust with oxygen sensors placed before and after the cat-
alytic converter. This allows for tighter control of tail pipe
emissions and also allows the ECM to diagnose converter
problems. If the ECM detects that catalytic converter or oxy-
gen sensor efficiency has degraded past a certain
prepro-
grammed limit, it will turn on the malfunction indicator light
(MIL), and store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the ECM.
See OBD On-Board Diagnostics for more information on
OBD
ll systems.

Engine Removal and lnstallation
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Replace all gaskets. O-rings and seals.
Use new fuel injector seals
Check that engine drive belts properly engage pulley
grooves.
Inspect O-ring seal between mass air flow sensor and air
filter housing. To facilitate reassembly, coat seal with acid-
free grease.
Change engine oil and filter and
check all other fluid levels.
See
020 Maintenance.
Refill and bleed cooling system. See
