Changing the Alternator on a Toyota Avensis

Model: Toyota Avensis T250, MK 2 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Alternator

How to replace the alternator on a Toyota Avensis? Start by removing the car battery from its designated compartment, then lift the bonnet. Unscrew the bolts with a socket spanner, being careful not to damage the electrical cables, and unscrew all the securing bolts of the alternator. Once disassembly is complete, you can pull the unit out of the engine bay (remove the belt).
