 |
|
| My mother has a 2002 Passat with the 1.8 engine. The alternator has gone out and needs replacing. I removed the top bolt and got the bottom bolt loose and that is where I ran into my problem. The bottom bolt doesn't have enough room to come out!! Are there any secrets to removing the bottom bolt of the alternator? Will I just have to remove the front end to get to it? The bolt is hitting the back side of the fan. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

There is an allen bolt that holds the fan pully on the mount. You can undo that bolt and take the fan/with hub and pulley out of the car. That should give you all the clearance you need.
