Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Alternator

Today we will see the main instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the alternator of the Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 16V. First of all, we open the hood and start locating the alternator, which we find at the bottom left; it will then be necessary to remove the V-belt and also remove the pulley and the tensioner, as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew the alternator screws and disconnect the electrical wiring, removing it and replacing it with the new original one; all that's left is to reassemble all the previously disassembled components.
