Thank you very much for posting this, mine failed yesterday. Had it fixed last night because of your video. I managed to do it without taking the coolant pipe off, and took the alternator off but left it in the area, just moved it about to suit. The hardest part was the alternator bolts and routing the belt again. I was in a panic and would have been scratching my head for ages if it wasn't for you posting this and showing to lever the fan too. Thank you!

I replaced just the belt on my 2010 A5 and I managed to do it without taking anything off. It was super difficult and my hands and arms were all cut up when I was done.

Hi mate great video. Could I start the car without the belt briefly? I have a wining noise and just wanted to see if it goes with no belt on. Not sure which pulley it is that’s making the noise. Car is on 172k 2012 b8.5

Could Be the generator wheel. Mine squeks aswell. And it spunds like its from the generator, which means that i also Think that the tensioner failure might come from the generetaor wheel not spinning straight

Hi R4UL, really really nice video. Keep up the good work. Listen, I have the same car and must put in a new pump for the power steering as mine gave up yesterday. Should I take the alternator out first or is it possible to change the pump without touching the alternator? Thank you in advance, mate! Greetings from Germany

its gone. It starts rattling first when cold then rattles all the time. I change belt and tensioner every 2-3 years. It has to be a bad design. Check the belt - you will see the wear on one side.
