Price: $24.92Tools needed. Combination of 12 and 13 mm spanner’s / rachet’s. 18mm nut and bolt (see step 2). 3mm drill bit or hex keyNote: During this job, all bolts are 12mm and all nuts are 13mm.Step 1. Disconnect the batteryStep 2. Remove the ventilation hose for the ECU housing.Just push it on the box and on the back of the radiator and it will pop out easily.Step 3. Remove the auxiliay belt and tensionerYou’ll need to move the tensioner to the front of the car and then lock it with a 3mm drill bit or hex key.
This image with the ECU housing removed will help understand how it works:To move the tensioner you’ll need a 3/4″ breaker bar. As it is not easy to place a 3/4″ breaker bar between the engine and the ECU housing, I use a 18mm (exterior) nut slightly smoothed on two opposite vertices, well attached to a bolt.Then I insert the nut side on the tensioner (not that here I already had a hex key locking the tensioner)and with a spanner rotate the tensioner to the front of the car until the holes on the tensioner allign to insert the locking device.Once that’s done, remove the aux belt. (it is advisable to replace the aux belt for new one on re-installation).With the belt removed you’ll be able to remove the 2 bolts holding the tensioner in place and remove the tensioner.S tep 4. Remove the black plate, on the front of the steering oil reservoir, that supports the power steering pump.You’ll have to remove the top long bolt and nut on the top marked with A, the bottom bolt and nut marked with B and the bolt marked with C that is on the right side of the steering pump, under the water hose.This last “C” bolt also holds the temperature sensor plug support.

Don’t forget to put it back on re-installation.Once the 3 bolts are out, you’ll be able to remove the plate.Step 5. Remove the bolts holding the power steering pumpThe power steering pump is held in place by 3 bolts.Two of them are acessible via 2 holes on the power steering pulley (“D” in the image).
You’ll have to find the correct position for the holes in the pulley to be alligned with the bolts.The third one (“E” in the image) is immediately under the tensioner bolts. This one bolts to a small bracket that is attached to the back of the steering pump. Once it’s removed, the steering pump will be loose.You’ll now be able to carefully move it to the sides in the next steps to help access the remaining bolts and alternator.Step 6. Disconnect the two wires to the alternator.The smaller one is a quick connector (“F” in the picture).

The larger one is hold by a 13mm nut (“G” in the image). You’ll have to remove a plastic cap to see the nut.Step 7. Remove the last 2 bolts holding the alternator in place.The second to last bolt is located on the lower right side of the alternator. Marked “H” in the image is the rachet wrench placed in the bolt, as it’s not possible to take picture of the bolt itself.The last bolt is located on the left side of the alternator (marked “J”). You’ll have to access it through a hole in the tensioner braket.
