Replacing OFH Gasket and Accessory Drive Belt, what else to do?

mpaone23 · 10-13-2015, 02:12 PM

This weekend I am going to tackle the oil filter housing gasket replacement as well as the tensioner, idler pulley and serpentine belt. Is there anything else I should do that may be easier while I have the car apart?

I was going to purchase the Accessory Drive Belt Service Kit https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E90-32....0L/ES2681007/ since this seems to be the most cost effective option.

For the OFH Gasket do you need to replace the hardware on the housing or can it be reused?

FYI I am at 127,366 miles. Any insight is much appreciated, thanks!
