VW dealer gave me a quote of $800 for this job. I will do it myself. I see alternators list on line starting at less than $100 and for as high $400+. Even at the high end, that's half the price the VW garage wants to charge me. The main question. Doesn't unhooking the battery reset the engine computer and alarm system? If it does, and I end up at the dealer, they'll truly burn me on the repairs.

+videolabguy No. It might reset the security code on your radio but there is nothing fancy (at least on a mkiv VW) about taking off and putting on the battery leads. How do you think you change the battery anyway?

Thank you for this 2 part video. Time to fix mine now. I have a 1998 Jetta 2.0 gasoline engine and am lucky I should be able to remove the alternator cover without moving the alternator at all. It is a 90 amp Bosch just as you expected. We will see how it goes. I also have to find where I can get a replacement voltage regulator without having to go to the dealer.

I have removed my alternator cover and voltage regulator and found the exact same problem as you had. I have ordered a replacement. Thank you again dieselworld, you helped save me hundreds of dollars.

just finished doing it today took me some time but i didn't remove bumper, headlight and not disconnected the coolant upper hose none of these were necessary to do it it's tight there i know all i did is unscrew 3 screws which holds the small fan to rad assembly and move the small fan to the side to get more room and then some time tetris playing flipping the alternator in there finding the right spot to come out

this just seems like more then needs to be done, is there anyway to make it easier or no way at all

Josh Lowery commented on 22 Jun 2014

I removed the radiator fan and A/C compressor to get mine out. What a pain!
