Hey, sorry nobody got back to you sooner. The Valeo part number is: 12317837981. Turner is slightly cheaper, but if you think you will ever replace the alternator again then go for FCP.

Just changed my alternator with the help of a friend.
Adding a couple photos. For that last radiator fan lower hose clip located on the passenger side, I found it easier to disconnect by reaching from the drivers side. Unless you have tiny hands/arms, it's impossible to get to it from the passenger side. Also, did anyone else have oil/gunk all over the cables/connectors? |

Just to re-iterate, the regulator is approx $75 (valeo) and if often the culprit. Regulator can be changed WITHOUT removing the alternator (access from underneath). As always, disconnect battery negative lead in boot and ensure you DONT accidently close the boot. Suggest a cloth or similar over the lock. |

Thank you for everyone who contributed to this thread. I’m about to change my alternator tomorrow. I’ve looked under the car and didn’t see any points of where I can remove the coolant hose from the clips under the car. Anyone have better way? Or just need to remove the shield?

If you have long skinny arms and don’t mind a few cuts you can get to the clips from the top. You can go down by the alternator side then run your hand blindly along the bottom and you can just barely get your fingers on them. The other option is to drop the underbelly. Good luck. It is doable. Remember when removing the alternator give the bolts a quick smack with a hammer before you fully remove them to drive the little threaded insert back into the housing or it will snag and not allow the alternator to clear from the bracket.

I could probably reach them but sounds like I might not be able to clip them back onto the hose after installing the alternator. My plan is to tap the bolts to force that cylinder out for removal. As well as being careful not to break the little nipple on the top coolant hose. |

Btw...my alternator failure was spectacular. Few weeks of random inconsistent abs failure and battery discharge warning. Then one day, full Christmas tree within a couple minutes. Abs, edc, idrive shutdown, airbag light, speedo shutdown, power steering shut down, and finally car died. All good now. Old alternator looked original. 170k miles. |

Can anyone confirm if the two 17mm alternator bolts are one time use and need to be replaced when installing a new one? I thought someone on here mentioned that so just want to be sure. Thanks yiu for this write up!
