PPSR05 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Can anyone give me an easy guide as to how to change an alternator on a ep91 please Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Unbolt the top tensioner bolt neer dipstick. 10mm bolt connecting charge cable too come off. Unplug 4 pin round plug of back of alternator. Take belt off then get under car and Unbolt 14mm? Bolt holding alternator on and drop out past the driveshaft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PPSR05 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I have a new belt to put on as well but I have to take the drive belt off to don't I or should the old belt do for now? It's just the top bolt on the alternator is a bastard to get to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Take you idle control valve of the drivers side of the inlet manifold. Its only 2 10mm bolts and a plug and it helps free up a load of space. And yes change the drive belt lazy sod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PPSR05 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I was meant to say can I keep the old alternator belt for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I suppose for emergency Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PPSR05 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Might give it a proper go tomorrow after giving the car a good wash and thanks for the tip of removing the Idle control valve as that looks like it will make it a lot easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
