The serpentine belt will not come off due to the water impeller housing and hoses. What is the best way to get the belt off? Remove 3 Allen bolts to pull impeller housing from main crank pulley or remove water hoses from housing? One of the water hoses has a normal hose clamp so should be easy to remove. Other clamp is a single use single ear hose clamp and has to be cut off? What are the cons about removing the impeller housing from main crank pulley ?

Thanks in advance!!!

Everything looks good with the v-drive, been tested at a local dealership with no issues, it makes the same whine as v-drives in Tiges of similar vintage... Looking at different fluids to try and decrease the whine coming from my ZF41 V-drive in my new-to-me 2014 Z3 with 500-ish hours. Everything looks good with the v-drive, been tested at a local dealership with no issues, it makes the same whine as v-drives in Tiges of similar vintage and build. It also has the “Use ATF” sticker on the V-drive housing so I know that deviating from manufacturer’s recommendation could create a whole host of problems such as resultant noises from the V-drive that are much more sinister than a mildly annoying whine.

I’ve seen/read about some people using 10-30/15W-40 engine oil instead of ATF for the thicker viscosity and therefore quieter operation. My biggest question is why use engine oil that has additional additives such as detergents when a 75W-90 marine gear oil has very similar viscosity and is much more designed and suited for a v-drive type application. Any insight from any of you who would have more technical expertise in this would be greatly appreciated.]]> Maintenance and Care SurelyNotBill https://www.tigeowners.com/forum/technical-overview/maintenance-and-care/1278757-zf41-v-drive-fluid-in-2014-z3 https://www.tigeowners.com/forum/technical-overview/maintenance-and-care/1278712-bilge-pump-troubleshooting Sun, 10 May 2026 22:01:00 GMT Has anyone troubleshot the bilge pump on a 2019 Tige R23 / Indmar Raptor 400 (or similar)?

Has anyone troubleshot the bilge pump on a 2019 Tige R23 / Indmar Raptor 400 (or similar)? Sometimes it kicks on and pumps water out, sometimes it kick on without pumping water out, and sometimes it doesn’t kick on at all until the engine hull is so full of water that the crankshaft/drive hub starts spitting water upwards as it spins. Any suggestions would be appreciated Maintenance and Care tigemedown https://www.tigeowners.com/forum/technical-overview/maintenance-and-care/1278712-bilge-pump-troubleshooting
