📋 Procedure

  1. Remove alternator .
  2. Clamp alternator in a vice at securing points.
  3. Remove protective cap from poly V-belt pulley with freewheel. [Note: The thread on the alternator shaft is a right-handed thread. To undo the threaded connection, the shaft on the inside has to be twisted out of the fixed pulley. This means that the nut is not unscrewed from the fixed bolt but the bolt is unscrewed from the fixed nut, hence the changed direction of rotation.]
  4. Insert multi-point adapterVAS 3400 with ring spanner 17 mm in poly V-belt pulley with freewheel of alternator.
  5. Insert M10 multi-point bit (1) into alternator shaft.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
