Tips on Alternator Replacement for 1998 A4 Avant

[Paul Caouette]

Ok!

So I will admit to be long-in-the-tooth and will stop reminiscing about how
easy it used to be to change an alternator  (hell! the first time I did this
they were called something else altogether...but I can't think what they
called them do-hickeys back then).

My wife's A4 just limped home. She called to tell me her lgihts were dimming
and the voltage was just above 12.......She even opined that the alternator
was probably not putting out juice.......now how's that for a savvy
spouse.....!!!

I took off the covers and dropped the plastic underpan and had a hard time
even finding the damned alternator. My god! Do they expect you to yank the
radiator just to get at the bolts.

Any BTDT would be greatly appreciated.
