How To Remove A VW Alternator ~ Salvage Yard Tips

In this DIY and Drive video, I will show you how to remove a Volkswagen alternator. As I mention in the video, you will need to remove the serpentine belt, and the belt tensioner. Luckily I have a video on how to remove a VW serpentine belt tensioner. This car is a 2.0 Jetta MK4. And while I am using this one for the demo, the strategy used can be applied to many other Volkswagen and even Audi cars.
