Operation: How do you replace the alternator of the Opel Astra?

In order to replace the alternator of the Opel Astra, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment. The alternator will be positioned on the left side of the engine compartment, right next to the engine block. You will need to remove the serpentine belt and the corresponding pulley, so that you can loosen the screws that secure the alternator to its housing. At this point, you can disconnect the power cables of the alternator, so that it can be removed and replaced with a new one, by assembling all the removed parts.
