Audi TT 3.2 v6 Alternator Replacement

[@stewartheather5654]

The worlds back to normal Doms working on his TT 😉😊

[@TheParrottBros]

This comment made my day 😍

[@TT3.2]

I watched your hard work last week Dom but was unable to comment for some reason. Thanks a lot for taking that pain for us, my fingers a very crossed that my alt will remain ok for some time yet. Cheers 👍🏼🤞🏼👌🏻🍻

[@pigeonguardgames507]

I'm sure the guys at the garage will really appreciate this vid Dom! I have already had the alternator regulator, and belt changed on my 3.2 so hoping my alternator will last a bit longer!! Anyway, well done it looks like a stupidly big job.

[@paulhopkins9251]

Brilliant Dom hope I never need to do this job but if I do it's great to have this help on film 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

As long as it helps one person that's enough for me, often the regulator is the failure point, but you know what its like.... while your there haha

[@TheParrottBros]

@@paulhopkins9251 thats it mate, better to know and not need it ayy haha

[@Sportsvee]

Outstanding informative video as always. Need to go back and watch your comparison video between the turbo and 3.2. Thanks, really appreciated 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for watching as always mate, Gotta do the hard yards so others dont have to, making it easier to keep these lovely cars on the road for many years to come

[@chrisneillcrn]

Missed these types of video 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

@@chrisneillcrn appreciate that mate, I’m sure there’s plenty more to come 😅😅

[@mistatt-ho3gt]

Fantastic content Dom - thanks as always

[@TheParrottBros]

My pleasure mate, thanks for watching

[@martinpearce60]

Nice one Dom 👍🏻 glad I didn’t have to do mine when I had a V6 but great to know, Brilliant 😃

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for watching none the less mate its appreciated, Lucky you managed to avoid that 😅

[@leejones3377]

It's a job I need to do, my battery doesn't die but its sluggish in the morning, batteries been replaced, checked for drain. It's the alternator regulator that fails, easy to change once you've removed it and alot cheaper than replacing the alternator. Cheers Dom.👍

[@TheParrottBros]

100% mate, but my alternator bracket was damaged and i do a lot of long trips so bit the bullet and bought a new one for piece of mind :)

[@andycharger]

Looking forward to this! As we know all too well from the Oil pressure sensor issue, doing it from below as recommended in the manuals was impossible! Front bumper off wins every time! 👍

[@TheParrottBros]

As you’ll see I’ve established this the hard way 😅

[@DanParratt]

Oddly enough I had my slam panel off this weekend too, but only as I was replacing a dodgy fan, drilling a snapped bolt out & fitting a wellycooler 😅 Great watch as usual Dom - my alternator is still playing up a bit (after changing the pulley) so I think I'm going to swap the regulator too, but that's definitely a lot easier on a 225 than a 3.6!

[@TheParrottBros]

@@DanParratt TT’s and fans, a never ending battle haha. I snapped a bolt when I swapped mine out too. Nightmare. Yes much more straight forward in the 225 haha

[@auditt_ped]

Some work Dom, definitely going to benefit others in the future 👌

[@TheParrottBros]

@@auditt_ped thanks buddy means a lot

[@TheDervMan]

Thanks for 'taking one for the team' 😎 🔧

[@TheParrottBros]

My pleasure.... i tell you one thing im not in a rush to do it again haha

[@richardturner587]

I had to replace my alternator around 3 months back, at 90k miles on the clock ...I had the red battery light coming on and off...got the charging performance checked and was hovering around 11.8 . After looking at the space available around it, I paid a VAG guy to tackle it with a new aux belt..haha

[@TheParrottBros]

Id say you made the right choice, sometimes its worth just paying the right people to do the job, less fuss and downtime

[@AngloSaxon1]

Great video Dom

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks Mate

[@RavenRestoProjects]

Where would we be on a Sunday without a tinkering TT problem .....usually results in , something not quite right in the engine ......the whole front comes off 🤣🤣, nice work 👍🏻

[@TheParrottBros]

Hahaha bang on mate! Always the way but when the weather is like this it makes sense to catch up on KZbin haha

[@alaindunkerque59]

Belle vidéo 👌 😉 Dom. Tu as de sacrées connaissances en mécanique. J aimerais t'amener mon TT. MK2 👍si je pouvais Sérieux. . C'est un TT Mk2 de 2007 de 200cv TFSI... Super 👌 Respect 😉👍👌.

[@ludwigsandstrom2560]

Done this job twice on my 3.2, attacking from the top is definitely the best method. Probably pulled the front slampanel close to ten times now so can do it with my eyes closed 🤣 3.2 life… Also that ac compressor bolt is ridiculous, encountered the exact same situation this summer… Ps you don’t have to pull the lights, you can leave them attached to the slampanel = less body lines adjustment pain when the job is done 😉

[@TheParrottBros]

I like to have them out the way and have the adjustments set to a fine art as replaced them so many times hahaha, know what you mean though i can have a tt in bits in like 20 mins flat

[@Jay-m2h7x]

Very nice

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks

[@christopherjakeway7703]

This is good timing I’ll be changing the pulley and the belt this weekend lol, reckon you’ll be doing a video of the thermostat soon?

[@TheParrottBros]

Thats good timing mate, glad this video is going to get put to good use, Not planning to any time soon im afraid

[@danitargarian4633]

Hola! Estoy pensando en cambiar el escape a mi tt8n 225 apx, as odio hablar de la marca borla?y fox? Yo tenía pensado un cts pero ya no se que hacer,saludos y enhorabuena por tu canal

[@benofthenorthuk]

Glad I got the garage to do mine 😆 Does not look fun at all to do in the drive!

[@TheParrottBros]

Especially with the weather we have! you did the right thing for sure mate

[@benofthenorthuk]

@@TheParrottBros now if you could do a video on replacing the 3.2 fans 😉 I could read my Bentley - but would rather watch someone do it 😆

[@davewestrup2420]

Really interesting video Dom, cheers. Hope I never have to change mine… 😂 One question, other than the belt, is there anything else worth changing once you’ve got that far? Cheers

[@TheParrottBros]

Hey mate, well yes its not a fun job and i wouldnt rush to do it again thats for sure haha. The 3.2 bar normal maintenance is pretty straight as it goes. far more simple than the mk1

[@adriansmith-ro9nc]

Need some more lighting in your shed Don 😂

Seems like more room in 1.8T for this job

[@TheParrottBros]

@@josephdonnelly3169 yes a 1.8t is much better for access for sure, still not a fun job tho

[@josephdonnelly3169]

@@TheParrottBros I sent mine to the garage a couple of years back, my friend had a couple of skinned nuckles and charged me accordingly. Currently 117,500 miles still going strong.
