Go to NAPA and buy a repair manual for your specific car.
Pry up on the tensioner pulley.
Somewhere between the other pulleys.
You don't loosen it, you pry it back to remove tension.
how do i change the alternator in my 2001 ford focus?
does it have a belt driven alternator ? you might be able to run it off the alternator like the jetta diesels do or any diesel for that matter but you may have to resize the alternator pulley to fine tune the readout. bosch alternators are used by vw but it gonna cost $$$. hope this helps
You should be able to find a shop manual at your local library with the right info...make copies as they are usually only in the REFERENCE section....good luck:)
yes
The alternator is on the passenger side and between the engine and the compartment wall.
It works much more effectively, and with greater dedication, focus, and commitment, than an ailing pulley does.

The regulator is within the alternator
That was happening to my Ford Focus, turns out it was the alternator, i got it changed now it turns on...
