To replace the alternator on a Citroën C3, open the bonnet and access the engine bay, locating the device: it is positioned at the bottom of the engine bay, between the radiator and the engine block itself. To reach it, you will need to remove the plastic cover from the top; this will allow you to loosen the mounting bolts of the unit and disconnect its connectors.

Once the unit is free, you can extract it from its housing and replace it with a new part; after installation, you can reinstall all previously removed components.
