Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?
I have a 2001 Audi A4 and the alternator is shot. Should I take it to the dealer, or can any good/reputable mechanic take care of this issue? Is the alternator for the audi common knowledge as it would be for a Nissan/Honda? I know there are some things that one must go to the dealer for....
Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?
any good repair shop should be able to change that one out,everything don't have to be done to those cars from a dealer,their not that hard of a car to work on,good luck.
Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?
any good mechanic can change it. Allot of times if you look in the city there are independent shops the specialize in Audi/Volkswagen/Porsche or mercedes etc they are a really good shop to take it too they really know european cars.
I would find a independent mechanic who specializes in german cars. You need a different type of tools to do the job properly.He can also advise you on any other repairs needed and will be cheaper then a dealer.

How do i change the alternator on a fiat punto 1.2?
My Fiat Punto 1.2 didn't start one morning,someone looked at it and said its the battery.I changed it and it worked for few days and then it died again.The only logical solution is to change the alternator but i don't want to go to a mechanic because i'm already short on cash.Can someone please explain how i can change it myself?
How do i change the alternator on a fiat punto 1.2?
On the 1.2 Punto engine, the alternator is located at the rear of the engine, furthest from the gearbox. The alternator pivots on one mounting and has a second mounting which tightens to tension the belt. Access is easier with the roadwheel and wheelarch liner removed (simply screwed in.) Disconnect the battery and slacken all the mounting bolts for the alternator. This will loosen the belt so it can be removed. Disconnect the wiring connectors from the rear of the alternator and then remove the alternator all together. Replacement is the reverse of fitting, but i would recommend a new belt at the same time - if the old belt snaps, it can rip off the cambelt aswell which is not good news! To tension the belt, use a pry bar to push the alternator away from the engine and tighten the belt. Hold this tension as you tighten up the top mounting nut which will then keep the tension.

How do I change the alternator of a 95 pontiac gand am?
the engine is a V6, i just need to know how to change it without takeing the whole engine apart.
How do I change the alternator of a 95 pontiac gand am?
it should be pretty easy on the car, the motor is either a 3.1ltr or the 3800 and the alt should be on top and in the middle. Take the neg bat cable off and then take a three eights drive ratchet and turn back the belt tension er and undo the belt and then undo the plug to the alt and then take out the two bolts and presto new back in same order but reversed.
How do I change the alternator of a 95 pontiac gand am?
your engine will be a 3100, changing the alternator is a little hard
to do the first time but here goes. most belt tensioners take a 15mm wrench to take the tension off the belt. it will be hard to remove the tension without a special or long end wrench but it can be done. then remove the belt from the alternator, there is a large red wire attached to the alternator and 2 or 3 smaller wires the plug into it. you might have to have a %26quot;back up%26quot; wrench to remove the nut on the red wire, they often turn inside and ruin the alternator. there are 2 bolts that hold the alternator in its brackets
and a smaller bracket on the back side with a bolt in the alternator and a nut onto the top of the motor. it is a 15 minute job if you have the tools and have done it before.
disconnect the shiz and connect the shiz man.
You may need a special wrench designed for releasing the tensioner assembly so you can remove the belt. Once you accomplish this, it's pretty straight forward. First, disconnect the battery! Proceed with the belt, and move on. Two or three bolts, depending upon the design of the bracket, and the whole thing will lift right out. Take it with you when you purchase the new one. There are 4, yes 4 different locations for the wiring connections. This is known as %26quot;clocking%26quot;. It is much easier to get the correct one the first time, but, if you need your ride right away, and your local auto parts store doesn't have the proper one, you can do this yourself. If you have an impast wrench, spin the pulley loose. Don't remove it yet! Turn it up, nose down, on a table or workbench. You need to take the three bolts loose that keep the housing together. Do NOT, under ANY circumstances lift the alternator up from now on. If you do, no sweat, but this isn't alternator rebuild 101. With the nose of the alternator on the table, take the three bolts out. Tap on the front portion of the housing and it will drop down. Spin it so that the mounting holes and the harness connections are in the correct location and re-install the three bolts. You will have to tighten them in sequence otherwise it may cause the armature to bind. I've done thousands of them. It will take you about 15 minutes to clock it if you have to.laptop peak replacement ittwit

if it's anything like a late 80s / early 90s VW...
slacken off the alternator adjusting bolts, rotate the alt towards the engine, remove old belt, fit new belt, rotate alt away from engine until belt is just tense enough to be twistable thru no more than 90 degrees, and retighten. easy.

have a certified auto mechanic do it for you...that's the easiest way.
there actually is no easy way..sorry...
take it to a mechanic and have him change it.
you can probobly replace it yourself, but your timing belt has to be adjusted too , by a professional
cut open the old one %26amp; adjust the distance between the ends. %26amp; then fit it.then readjust the distance
The easiest way is to let someone else do it! Seriously, it would be best to let a repair shop do it - it may cost a little more, but they have the proper tools needed (you would have to rent them) and it is warrantied by them. Find a local independent repairman to do the job.....they are less expensive than dealerships and large repair chains.
go buy the belt your self, then have a shop do it. it will be cheaper and less work for you and youll get some type of warrenty on the labor. hey roxy
Easiest way is to find someone else to do it. If you cannot see how to do it, you have no business doing it.

Buy the Chilton's or Haynes repair manual pick up the belt while your their and be done .... It's cake to replace!
