Hi all,
thinking of changing some pulleys, and may as well do the alternator at same time from the effort to get there.
anyone changed theirs? CDYA engine, 180 A alternator - is it as simple as identifying if it’s bosch and getting one?
think Audi would rather sell a whole alternator, so happy going aftermarket on this part.
reasons for changing are I have a noise that kind of follows the revs, but not quite - think it’s something on the drive belt so rather change most if it while Im at it. If it doesn’t cure noise, at least I know all is good for a while on drive belt side of things!
also, special tool required to get pulley off existing?

cheers
