Full guide 1.6HDi alternator replacement Peugeot/Citroen (2007 Peugeot Partner)

[@PeeJay7290]

I just changed my alternator using this video on my 2009 Citroen Dispatch, thank you :)

Glad the video helped, it was a nightmare of a job with all the tight space.

thank you more molecules: my 07 citroen 1.6hdi alternator pully wheel went...so had to take out alternator to replace that and re do belt. your vid was extremely helpful and probably saved me 250 euro doing it myself...thank you very much man

[@jiminycrickect8294]

Your videos are absolutely brilliant mate. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for uploading this. I always really like your videos. I replaced my cambelt and waterpump last week on my 1.6 Hdi Escapade. As I was doing it I thought it would be a real pain to replace the alternator if it ever needed changing.... your video will make it much easier as and when it does.

Many thanks indeed for the good words. It is a nightmare of a job. Probably one of the hardest things that I have done, apart from the rusty exhaust on my 307 that took me 3 days to file the bolts with the smallest file on earth, it was just tight. It took me probably a day to fit back the new alternator, it just could not go in. My left arm was aching, because the horrible thing is on the right of the engine and I do not have a proper lift, just my home garage. Had someone told me there was a trick to angle the bolts it would have been an easy job. My arm was so tired that in the video I am screwing the the upper pulley bolt between my fingers as I could not hold it with fingers, that's how tired they were. Anyway, many thanks indeed, hope you are not going to have to do it.

Absolutely brilliant, I can't thank you enough, a terribel job to have to do.

Fun fact, i used to work for a recycling ccompany and aluminium foil was actually the most valuable recyclable material! Due to the type of aluminium used for it. 6:12

Great video. I will be doing my friends soon, glad I came across this video. What KZbin is about.

[@moremolecules]

Many thanks for the compliment and exactly my sentiment. I only post these in case someone wants to do it and to have a visual guide or if I have found difficulties so other people to know how to do them. This was a nightmare. Probably the most difficult (physically and tool-wise) thing I have done.

Thank you for a very informative video. I have a 1.6 HDi van without Air Con but the principal will be the same. I've heard that changing the starter motor is as difficult or maybe more difficult.

[@moremolecules]

Mine is also without air con and with air con will be similar, although probably more difficult due to the air con being in the way. Yes, starter is more difficult.

Brilliant video! My berlingo is hdi 8v not 16v and it takes 1 fix pulley and 1 tensor pulley…ive noticed that yours has 2 fixed+1 tensor ? Thanks

[@csttd1126]

One question?If I was not able to put the forth screw in that impossible place down right,will be a problem if is secure in three screws? on a peugeot 308 1.6 hdi

[@moremolecules]

If you can take it out, it should be possible to be fitted back in, with effort of course, it will be tight, but not impossible. So, to answer the question, probably not very adviseable to leave it with 3 bolts, it will most likely wiggle out or there will be vibrations that will not be good for the other drive shaft components.

[@imaginitivity7853]

I think I need to do this job, but before I do. Is there any possibility that the alternator is just dirty inside and could be cleaned in situ somehow?

[@onionridetv]

Well done and thanks for the video

[@tomasvangeest4161]

Thank u good video and explanation❤

[@Com4nd3r.]

Nice video.

[@autogeek6448]

Добрый день. Вопрос: может ли из за неисправных свечей накала на холодную дымить такой мотор? Спасибо.

[@moremolecules]

Apologies, I can only answer in English and managed to google translate it. The 1.6HDi does not need the glow plugs so much, only if temperature is really cold in minus C. Yes, if some are faulty you would get rough start and a little bit of rough idle, maybe some smoke, but not too much. It can perfectly well start with faulty glow plugs, it is not like the 1.9 D which would not start without glow plugs. Depends on the colour of smoke of course as well.

[@darkoutk1649]

Can i contact you somehow for consultation?

[@moremolecules]

There is About pages on the channel and my e-mail address is there. It would generally be better if you post your question in one of the videos, so I can reply and others might benefit from the discussion. Either way is alright with me.
