REPLACING ALTERNATOR BELT PULLEY (WITH OVERRUNNING CLUTCH)

Special tools required:

Remove and install alternator drive belt.

Grip alternator shaft with:

Release nut with special tools 12 7 120.

Installation:

Tighten to specified torque.

CHECKING ALTERNATOR (BSD)

Necessary preliminary tasks:

NOTE: The alternator with BSD interface can communicate with the engine control unit (DME/DDE).

The alternator is not connected to the charge telltale light.

The alternator can identify various faults.

BSD alternator can be recognized by the plug connection on the alternator.

Connect diagnosis tester.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING OR REPLACING ALTERNATOR (N52K)

IMPORTANT: Aluminum-magnesium materials.

No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of electrochemical corrosion.

A magnesium crankcase requires aluminum screws/bolts exclusively.

Aluminum screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released.

The end faces of aluminum screws/bolts are painted blue for the purposes of reliable identification.

Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage).

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Unlock plug (1) and remove.

Slacken nut (2).

Installation:

Tightening torque 12 31 1AZ.

Release screws and remove alternator (3).
