Alternator Replacement Instructions

Model: Audi Tt MK 1, 8N - Years 1998-2006
Part: Alternator

The alternator is located at the front left of the engine when viewed from the front, but you need to create some working space to remove it. First, open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the plastic cover located on the engine and disconnect the hose attached to the throttle body at the intake manifold. Then, remove the throttle body itself and the corresponding hose to create enough space to loosen the tensioner of the accessory belt, release the alternator pulley, and complete its removal. Follow the reverse order for the installation of the new one.
