I've noticed my headlights are dimming and my car is struggling to start. A mechanic told me it may be an issue with the alternator. Can I change it myself and if so, how do I go about it?
ReplyReplacing the alternator on an Audi 80 can be a bit tricky, but it is definitely doable. Before attempting the replacement, make sure you have all the necessary tools and a replacement alternator. You'll also want to disconnect the battery and make sure the car is turned off before starting the process.
First, locate the alternator in the engine bay and loosen the bolts holding it in place. Be careful not to damage any surrounding parts. Disconnect the wiring and remove the old alternator.
Next, install the new alternator and secure it with the bolts. Reconnect the wiring and make sure everything is tightened properly. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the car to ensure the alternator is working correctly.
