Hi

To replace the alternator :

Put car up on ramps at the front
Remove front accoustic shield 8mm socket 8no.
Remove middle section accoustic shield 8mm socket 4no.
Undo nut from tensioner 13mm
Take weight of tensioner with ext bar and withdraw the bolt to undo tension on belt.
From underneath remove alloy pipe that runs from turbo to intercooler (2 jubilee clips & 2no 10mm bolts)
Disconnect Battery (Be careful with radio code)
Pull off sleeve on heavy wire to back of alternator
Undo heavy wire 13mm
Undo light wire 11mm
There are 2 bolts holding alternator to engine i used hexagonal socket to fit the splined head on these bolts (cant remember size)
Withdraw bolts and remove alternator via the underside of car.

Reverse sequence for installation.

NB Charge pipe needs removed to get alternator off car.

Are you sure it is not the free wheeling pulley on the alternator slipping causing it to produce a low charge??

Good Luck
