How do you replace the alternator of the Volkswagen Jetta?

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Alternator

It will be possible to replace the alternator of the Volkswagen Jetta by opening the hood, so that it is possible to access the components inside the engine compartment: on the left side relative to the engine block, it will be possible to locate the alternator, which must first be freed from the corresponding serpentine belt. Once the belt has been removed, it will be possible to loosen the screws that secure the alternator to its seat and disconnect the corresponding connectors; at this point, the new replacement part can be inserted, verifying that everything works properly.
