This is a step-by-step video with commentary on how to replace and alternator on a 2006 Volvo S40 T5. I am not a professional mechanic and this video is merely my opinion on how to make this repair. It is not advice, only me sharing my ideas and experience with you. I hope it helps!

Thank you so much! Never worked on a car before and changed the alternator easily using your video. Your a champion!

8 years later and this saved me a ton of time. I was prepared to take out the entire intake manifold! Thanks for the great walk through!

I took my v5o into the dealership last week and they gave an estimate of $1800 for alternator, battery and belt replacement. I decided to do it myself. With your video and a couple hours, I fixed it for $600. Thank you for saving me $1200. My car wasn't a turbo, so it was a little easier than your fix, not as much stuff in the way. After watching this video, I knew everything to expect and it gave me the confidence to get it done. Thanks again.

I did this job on my s40 thanks to your video. I was gonna scrap the car when Volvo told me the repair cost. You sir are awesome!

Process worked out for me. I have a 2006 Volvo S40 (No Turbo) and I worked with the great info and visuals provided. I have never been mechanically intelligent but this built my confidence. Thanks KT.

Excellent video. I have a friend whose alternator may be the problem and it's good to know what's involved in a replacement before we tackle it. Thanks for making this.

After searching for a video on how to change an alternator on My 06 Ford Focus ST couldn't find one anywhere!! But knowing it has a Volvo t5 engine! I found this video which was a god sent! Thanks for the info

I want to thank you 512kjt for taking the extra time to help us get through our replacements. I watched this video shortly after you posted it and now I'm back to do the job yet again. It's sad that my battery has actually out lasted the $300 alternator, but atleast I have this video for reference.
