Just had to replace my alternator and this helped out a lot thanks!
I did an alternator swap on an 01 beetle turbo yesterday, I didn’t have to
remove tensioner or loosen injectors. That alternator will come out, just
takes a little bit of persuasion :)
what tools are needed?
Still got the 70 amp one in I’ve left that one in the old one was 90 but
that is the one that melted the fuse box
The black cable going to altanator had melted the fuse box on top off
battery changed the box today ie ok now but it’s still getting very hot any
ideas?
I’ll remove it tomorrow and take it back to the breakers will any 90 amp
one do? Also just before battery dies the abs light airbag light in
traction control light come on I’m thinking it’s a bad earth
Sound I’ll have look there tomorrow don’t think he has any with that engine
in do but I’ll look round and find a 90 amp one I’ve heard people putting
vr6 ones in think there 120 amp would that not be better?
Would a code reader pick the fault up going to pick one up tomorrow
Hi I’ve a 2001 1.8 turbo aum engine code golf today it lost power in cut
out air bag light came on traction control light and some other light had
altanator checked was only charging at 5 volts so changed it got one from a
scrap yard but it’s a 70 amp one was a 90 that came out off it still won’t
hold charge and brings lights on before it dies tried my battery in another
car and it’s holding charge any ides doing my head in
thx bro!
No problem, glad i could help. Have you subscribed to the channel?
Step one, disconnect the battery negative cable. Step two, take off your
watch. Step three, follow this video.
Thanks for the video!
I have really rough idle after replacing alternator. I tore the throttle
body gasket and tried to cheat with gasket sealer and the bug saw right
through me with abnormal revs. So I replaced the gasket like a good boy
hoping all is well, but it is idling so rough it makes me think the timing
is off. Have you had an experience with this? Awesome video btw.
do you have to lock the tensioner or can you do it without? tiy
Excellent vid – I wouldn’t have even attempted this without it! Saved me
$500 on getting it done at the shop. The injectors were a bit of a pain but
other than that simple enough. did have a bit of a rough idle afterwards
but seems to have come right. Thanks!
If anyone reads my previous comment and has the same issue check into
throttle body alignment. That was my issue. Almost every thread says to use
a vag-com to realign the throttle body. I was fortunate to be able to use
the ‘key on’ method. Turn key to acc. and do not start it or touch the gas
pedal. Wait 3 mins minimum (I waited 4 mins). Turn key all the way off.
Turn car to on wait a few seconds and start as normal.
