How do you replace the alternator of the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Alternator

To replace the alternator located on board the Opel Astra, you need to open the hood so that you can have access to the components inside the engine compartment: here you will be able to locate the alternator on the left side compared to the engine block. By loosening the screws that hold it, you can proceed by disconnecting all the connectors and removing the V-belt around it: at this point you can insert the new alternator, fixing it with the appropriate screws and repositioning the belt around the corresponding piece.
