[QUOTE="Vincent Hor, post: 14575, member: 1221"] I fitted the Naidu's modified aircond belt tensioner last year on my E34 M50B25. Lately I was experiencing quite a bit of vibration. Upon checking, I found that the housing was broken. My mechanic Albert of WP Auto told me that we cannot fit this kind of tensioner as the tension is too great and there is no room for movement. It will cause the housing to break plus it will result in premature failure of the aircond compressor. According to Albert those BMW engineer had their reasons for using the absorber tensioner. So if you have installed the Naidu's tensioner, please have them checked. Will upload some pics soon.
