Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Alternator

Today we will see instructions on how to disassemble the alternator of an Audi A3 in its second generation. First we open and lift the bonnet; we remove the plastic protection of the battery and disconnect the battery terminals: then we remove the plastic protection of the engine and based on the positioning of the alternator we will evaluate whether to remove the front bumper, in order to be able to access it better. At this point we remove the timing belt, loosening the belt tensioner, and once we get to the alternator we will unscrew its fixing bolts and disconnect the electrical connector to remove it, as in the video!
