the trip to Pep Boys to get a new alternator.

I did make a few deviations from Rich's directions, namely:

Unbolted the power steering reservoir to get some extra hand room.
Removed the tensioner completely (after pinning it) to get freer access to the bottom alternator bolt.
Disconnected the "three-legged hose" connected to the intake manifold to gain some room.
Dropped a bunch of tools and bolts so it would take me a little longer ; )

Alternator cost $202 with return of the old one for a reman part with "limited lifetime warranty". It is a Bosch part, with Audi/VW markings on it.

Great Write Up - We are going to move the Chicago Mod Place to Your House Now - nasTTcar 2006-10-20 08:33:44 (112 views)

Yes it seems I've had some practice now! - SparTTan 2006-10-21 06:50:50 (88 views)

nice writeup. - ModifiedA4 2006-10-20 05:55:39 (104 views)

Great job Rich...BTW I noticed in pic#9 just above the one with the nail..... - CrazyTT 2006-10-20 05:22:36 (142 views)

Yes, that's OEM, never been replaced. I do know that spot is prone to leaks but mine still seems OK. - SparTTan 2006-10-21 06:47:41 (103 views)

another great write up....thanks Rich! - TTinCT 2006-10-19 22:40:02 (59 views)

Nice write-up, Rich. Hope that's the last break-down for a long, long time. - sTTevo 2006-10-19 21:32:13 (114 views)

Great job! My 8500 has been showing 13.9 v since you showed me how to do this a few days ago. - LY9F AMU 2006-10-19 21:23:52 (127 views)

same here... been seeing 13.8v - 14.1v... normal readings I guess? - KamalTT 2006-10-19 22:08:07 (135 views)

I've noticed around 12.8 - 13.0 with lights on, around 13.6 - 13.9 with lights off. - SparTTan 2006-10-21 06:48:54 (64 views)

just as long as it doesn't start dropping, we should be okay. - LY9F AMU 2006-10-19 22:47:25 (56 views)

Rich - Great Job man - glad to see this one had a happy only $85 ending for you. - stilljester 2006-10-19 20:27:28 (88 views)

Noooo kidding. I figure I had to have saved myself probably 500-750 over what the dealer would have - SparTTan 2006-10-19 21:15:49 (157 views)

Have you ever thought the dealer is sabotaging your car? - LY9F AMU 2006-10-19 22:00:04 (120 views)

Great writeup as usual Rich! Thanks! - JohnLZ7W 2006-10-19 20:16:53 (63 views)
