Why did you change the belt routing? At 2:09, you can see the belt comes straight up from the alternator to the tensioner. At 11:34, you route the belt over the alternator and then straight down to the idler, then up to the tensioner. Does it not matter?

[@JM-AUTO]

it does not matter on these vehicles you can rerout it the way i did and i thought i was recording when i explained that but when editting the video i relized i did not have that part, thanks for visiting this channel.

Is this a 3.6 4motion? Also which alternator was in it 140 or 180amp, and Valeo or Bosch?

[@JM-AUTO]

bosch 140A, it is a 3.6 but when i called auto parts around none of them new witch one was in the car, then i called the dealer and they told me i had to take it out because they did not know if there was a bosch or valeo in the car so i had to take it out and went to the auto part to get it

@@JM-AUTO I need to replace my alternator also in a 2008 vr6 4motion sedan.... I'm hoping it's this easy LoL.... I think I'm going to replace with the 180amp but I wonder if it really matters what brand, I wonder if I can or would need to recode via vagcom...

[@JM-AUTO]

@@daenigma now you can use 180a alternator and there should be no problem, output amperage from alternator will still be distribute power to components without over powering them, a high amp alternator is more efficient in cold weathers. n you should use the brand that the car came with from factory.
