How do I remove the viscous coupling.
My alternator is dead and I can't remove it before removing the viscous coupling first.

2.5 has to come off,32mm spanner and quick hard smack to the spannerto shock it.1.9 8mm alen key at the back of the housing and big grips on the pulley or correct vag locking pilers to hold the pulley whilst undoing the 8mm alen key.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm kind of lost. What the 2.5.
Is it lust a case of loosening some kind of fastening at the back of the viscous coupling, i only need to move it an inch or so.
I've never had this much hassle for an alternator since an E30 Beemer.
