Hey Foks,

Just wondering if anybody knew how much a new fanbelt would cost for my 2002 Cooper, and where I can purchase a cheap one from!?

Does anybody know how hard it would be to replace?

Thanks
KEL

Sportspack Mark · Nov 22nd, 2007, 06:46 PM

Cheers chap!! I'll have to have a little look locally!!!

*Vikki* · Nov 22nd, 2007, 07:08 PM

well its making a ticking noise i think somewhere i put a sound clip on here, what noise are you getting?

'COOPERMAN' · Nov 23rd, 2007, 10:05 AM

I'm getting a kind of light whistling sound constantly, i think it gets louder the longer the engines been running (would make sense if it was the fanbelt, however i might just be a=imagining its get worse the longer its runs, because i'm paying attention to it!)
I'm not sure if it is loose, but at only £7, it might be worth changing it to see what happens!!

There is only one slight problem

The mini does NOT have a fan belt

It has an electric driven fan

The belt you are refering to drives the water pump/ alternator

*Vikki* · Nov 29th, 2007, 05:20 PM

ah right dunoo what mine is then..

Sportspack Mark · Nov 29th, 2007, 06:04 PM

well its a belt of some description!

mines stopped squeaking!

*Vikki* · Nov 30th, 2007, 07:02 PM

Mine is going in to bmw so will post what they say it was when shes fixed.

*Vikki* · Dec 5th, 2007, 04:24 PM

this is what mines meant to be..

BMW have said this is the alternator belt. Which might explain maybe why my battery went dead a few months ago due to me using the radio for a bit while cleaning her. From memory BMW have said this is approximately £136 inc vat/fitting/part as I think they said its worn to much to tighten up.

'COOPERMAN' · Dec 7th, 2007, 09:43 AM

Ok guys i'm pretty sure that its not my fan belt, lol

!!
I will ave to see about getting an alternater belt, from a parts shop not BMW and see what they say it will cost!!

How much do BMW charge to have the belt tightened, anybody know?!

RVW · Dec 7th, 2007, 12:24 PM

You cannot tighten it. It has a self adjusting tensioner . So you will have to have it changed. Sorry not sure what the cost would be.

*Vikki* · Dec 7th, 2007, 05:28 PM

they replaced on mine the alternator belt and drive belt tensioner and its stopped the ticking noise sounds gorgeous now rather than like a tractor! that was £136 for both inc vat/labour
