Parts Needed for N52(2005 130i)Auxiliary Belt Replacement

[anonymous-user]

Hi,
Got a question. Wasn't sure whether to post here or in engines and drivetrains. My belt's gone, car's sitting on the drive, and my mechanic's going to change it for me. I'm supplying the parts and he'll just change whatever parts I supply. Do any of you kind folk know what parts should be changed in a job like this? My mechanic said definitely tensioner and, of course, belt. Anything else? I've seen talk on American forums of an idler pulley too, and a torx bolt. Do these items also need to be changed, or only if they're damaged? And, if the torx bolt is needed (can/should old one be re-used), does it come with the idler pully or would I need to order it separately? Thanks

Imthink the idler pulley and tensioner are one and the same.

Scrap that, as link

Thanks for replies. Idler pulley is also known as deflection pulley (scroll down realoem's page - item number 3). Wondering if I need that, or only if damaged, and can old torx bolt/screw be re-used?
