Model: Skoda Fabia Mark1, 6Y - Years 1999-2007
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to replace the alternator of the Skoda Fabia

Replacing the alternator on this model of car, and on all those of the VAG family that share the same engine, is extremely simple to carry out as it is located in the front left part of the engine compartment (looking from the front) and there is sufficient maneuvering space to operate without having to disassemble any other element; therefore, once the cover on the engine has been removed, disconnect the battery, remove the auxiliary belt by loosening the relative tensioner in order to free the alternator pulley; at this point it is simply a matter of unscrewing the relative fixing pins.
