How to remove old and install new ac belt in a 1995 bmw 318i

There is not a tensioner on this model vehicle. They use a elastic type belt that stretches and goes over the pulleys and glide it over. There is a BMW special tool to not damage the belt as it goes on but can also use a screwdriver or pry bar to ease it on.

no the auto is shorter because the transmission is longer

The fuel pump is under the read seat on the passengers side.the is a special tool to remove the cover,but if you are careful you can twist it off with a large pair of channel locks.

lift the back seat and you will see an inspection cover ,remove the cover and the fuel sender unit is underneath ,most vehicles use a big round plastic ring to hold the sender unit in and you may have to buy a special tool to undo it ,i use a old belt tupe oil filter removal tool where i have extended the belt part with a length of old seat belt ,crude but very effective

no. you only need the 15mm/16mm spanner to turn the tensioner handle until you see a hole to lock the handle with a small allen key or something fit inside. (CAUTION: be carefull of the handle will slam backward and broke the stopper. dont release in suddent. ) check your alternator run freely. turn with your hand with the belt off.

I am presuming you mean the pollen filter which is fitted under the grill where the wiper motor spindle come through, you have to remove the wiper blades on some models but it is really straight forwards.

You have to install a special tool in the camshafts,i would suggest that you have a repair shop do the work. If your not experienced and you dont have the proper alignment tool.
