Generator, Removing and Installing,

1.4L TSI Engine

Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Torque Wrench 1331 5-50Nm - VAG1331-
Removing
– Disconnect the Battery - A- . Refer to

⇒ “1.3 Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting”, page 9

 .

– Remove the ribbed belt. Refer to ⇒  Rep. Gr.  13 ; Cylinder

Block, Belt Pulley Side; Ribbed Belt, Removing and Installing .

– Remove the ribbed belt tensioner. Refer to ⇒  Rep. Gr.  13 ;

moving and Installing .

Vehicles with A/C System

Caution

Danger of damaging the A/C compressor, the refrigerant line

and hoses.

♦ Do not stretch, bend or kink the refrigerant lines and ho‐

ses.

– Remove the A/C compressor from the bracket. Refer to ⇒ 

Heating and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.  87 ; A/C Compressor;

A/C Compressor, Removing and Installing on Bracket .

– Secure the A/C compressor on the lock carrier so that the re‐

frigerant lines are not under tension.

Continuation for All Vehicles
– Remove the bolts -arrows-.
If the Generator - C- -1- sticks in the bracket, install screw again

down as far as the last two turns.
Carefully strike on bolt heads using flat side of hammer - doing

this loosens the generator mount bushings.
– Remove the Generator - C- -1- with the wires still attached

from the bracket.

– Disconnect the connector -3-.
– Pry off the cap -2-.
– Remove the nut and remove the terminal 30/B+ -4-.

– Remove the Generator - C- -1- downward and to the right.
Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal while paying attention to

the following:
– Move the bolt sleeves slightly to the rear to make it easier to

install the Generator - C- .

Tight bushings for generator mount must be made smooth-run‐

ning, otherwise clamping force of bushing is too little despite

correct torque.
– Connect the Battery - A- . Refer to

⇒ “1.3 Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting”, page 9

 .

– After completing work always start the engine and check the

belt routing.
