So much extra unnecessary work done. Belt tensioner 14mm wrench. Dont even need to take tire off to loosen belt. Remove wires, 13mm. Same with Alternator bolts 13mm. Loosen all way, slots for bolt, make sure they all way left to body. Pry from top, used extension as well. Pops right off. Pull up and wiggle for bottom to come loose. Dont need to do all the extra work. Always remove neg. On Battery to work on any part of vehicle that has electrical. 😂 no struggles

Make sure you remove all the bolts ones you do if it's stuck hit it towards outside. Sometimes it does get stuck

@MrMobileAutoServiceАй бұрын
Thanks for the video. My question is, would it be worth the time to dismantle the CV shaft from the hub (wheel) to give yourself even more freedom to get the alternator out? With most front wheel drive vehicles I can dismantle the CV shaft in about 15 minutes, but of course I’m using air tools. I guess I’ll find out in a couple days.

The alternator on my 2010 Q5 3.2L stopped charging the battery. Red battery symbol flashing on the LCD display with a message “battery not charging”. Is there a fuse that could be blown or is the alternator dead? Help! Thank you.
@HTXSuspensionsАй бұрын
I don't think they have a fuse most likely it's your alternator. Most times when the battery light shows on your dash it's going to be your alternator.

I used this video for my 2015... My advice to add on to this is to remove the whole battery and tray. You can reach the top trans hose way easier
@f5fstop2 ай бұрын
You do NOT have to remove the bottom ball joint, the LCR will drop enough once the lower shock bolt is removed to allow for a large spacer to be placed on the top of the shock/coil over assm. You do not have to jack up the back end to place a block under the spring. Just remove the bottom nuts from u-bolts, remove the bottom plate and using a jack with a piece of wood lift the leaf springs just in front of the spring perch on the axle. Lift enough to install lifting block, lower and make sure pins are going into the holds. Install new u-bolts, bottom plate and nuts. Your video gets things done; just a lot hard and more time than if done without the steps noted.
