3.6L FSI

Generator

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Hose Clamps Up To 25 Mm (3094)

• Drip Tray for VAS 6100 (VAS 6208)

• Bolt M8x50

Observe notes on contact corrosion => [ Contact Corrosion ] Contact Corrosion.

Removing






- With ignition switched off, disconnect battery Ground (ND) wire. Refer to => [ Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting.

Hot vapor/hot coolant may escape when opening the coolant reservoir. Cover the cap with a cloth and open carefully.

- Remove the cap from the coolant reservoir.

- Remove bolts and remove the noise insulation in the front - 1 -.

• Disregard item - 2 -.








Risk of destroying if the running direction of a used ribbed belt is reversed.

• Before removing ribbed belt, marking running direction with chalk or a felt-tip pen for reinstallation.

- Pivot tensioner in - direction of arrow - to release tension on ribbed belt.

- To secure ribbed belt tensioner, install an M8x50 bolt in the threaded hole - A -.

• Only install M8x50 bolt far enough so that ribbed belt can be removed from the tensioner without force, otherwise the tensioner will be damaged.

- Remove ribbed belt.

- Remove bolts - 1 - and - 2 -.






- Remove ribbed belt tensioner.

- Disconnect electrical connector - 1 -.






- Remove B+ line protective cap.

- Remove nut and remove B+ line.

- Remove the bolt - 3 - and clamp off the coolant hoses using hose clamps (3094).

- Place (VAS 6208) under engine.

- Detach coolant hoses at generator.

- Remove the bolts - arrows - and remove generator.






• If generator is stuck in its bracket, screw in mounting bolts again except 2 rotations.

• Carefully strike on bolt heads using flat side of hammer - doing this loosens sleeves of generator mount.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:

• Secure all hose connections using standard hose clamps. Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).

- Slightly drive back sleeves for retaining bolts in order for easier installation of generator.

• Tight sleeves for generator mount must be made smooth-running, otherwise clamping force of sleeve is too little despite correct torque.

- Position ribbed belt over pulleys in stated sequence.






1. Vibration damper

2. Coolant pump

3. Tension roller

4. Generator

5. Idler pulley

6. A/C Compressor

7. Power steering pump


• Replace O-ring

• When installing ribbed belt, be sure that it is seated correctly on belt pulleys.

- Install ribbed belt tensioner and ribbed belt.

- Connect battery. Refer to => [ Connecting ] Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting.

- Check coolant level.

- Start engine and check belt routing.
