I have an '02 2.8L V6 and it is difficult. I just had it done not more than 2 weeks ago. You can order the part at an auto parts store, mine was a bit over $200. Then I called places around town that could work on foreign cars and I had it fixed over night.
It was difficult on my car because the V6 engines have the alternator on the right side under the engine, BUT if you have the 4 cylinder engine it at the very top and easy to access and should not take as long as it did for me.
Also I have been checking eBay for a starter on my car and noticed that alternators are a lot cheaper 2nd hand.
AnswerI am now in the market for this repair. My non-VW dealer has quoted me $700 for the part and about 8 hours for labor, so my guess would be yes, much more involved than a US-made car.

This question has also been asked before and you may find help in the FAQ list.How do you change the head lamps on a 2005 Chevy Optra?
You"ll need to remove the headlights and it's a very simple job. You'll need a 10mm socket wrench, each headlight has 2 bolts holding it in at the top, and 1 nut at the back, and they then just slide out. You'll have access to all of the bulbs, and you can get to your fog light bulbs as well.

Why does the low coolant light stay on even after adding fluid in a 1996 Olds Cutlass Supreme?
Possibly because you still have an air pocket in the system because of not bleeding properly. Low coolant typically means just that. You need to bleed the air out completely before the light will go out. If the entire cooling system, not just the radiator is not full of fluid the light will continue to stay on.
Could also be the sensor on the radiator on the passenger side...
This is a copy of my other posting.
This is what I found out. The engine is not overheating. What is happening is that the temperature sensor is not reporting the information correctly, which cause the computer to assume that the sensor is not working and go into default safe mode. Check the temperature gage. It is probably reading zero. In order to prevent overheating, it shuts off the AC and turn on the radiator fan full speed.
I had thermostat replaced which did nothing for the above reason. I don't even know why the dealership even tried to do that since when the temperature reading is zero, it is not the thermostat. Thermostat replacement should only be needed if the car is actually overheating. When I took it in next time, dealership was instructed by the GM tech center not do anything until the new computer calibration becomes available. What they explained to me is that when the sensor gets old, the data signal gets weaker. The new calibration is to be able to read the sensor, even if it starts to send weaker signals. After about a month, it became available. That was last week, the week of April 27th, 2008. There is, or will be a new service bulletin for this.
I got new calibration yesterday. I will be observing it for a while. I drive about 3K per month so I should have a fast longterm info. You should be able to get this done free of charge by the dealer.
I hope this actually solved the problem. Unfortunately, my problem was intermittent so it is hard to tell if this worked.

99 Chevy Malibu engine - push rod order- some short and some long?
Not sure which engine you are working on. It should be a 3100?? Intake valves use the short ones, exhaust the long ones. It's been a while since I've done mine so I don't have the exact order memorized. The valve closest to the intake port will be your intake. Fairly easy to determine which is which.
What is the pedal to the left of the break in the Chevy Malibuu?
If it's all the way over on the left, it's the parking/emergency brake. You set and release the parking brake with this pedal. If it's right next to the brake, it's a clutch.
How do you fix a coolant leak?
I have 2 leaks in my '98. One on top of the radiator which is fairly small and another was on this wierd 90 degree angle pipe that came out from the engine and into an opening behind the tension pully. I patched both leaks with JB Weld. After about a month the leaks came back and the JB Weld was peeling off. That stuff is incredibly strong and I did this twice thinking I didn't mix the resin and hardener correctly, and it happened again. It must have been the constant heating and cooling of the vehicle but the JB would eventually peel right off. I knew if JB didn't work I doubt anything will. I had no other option but to replace the parts, and I would take it to an expert unless you are one yourself. Also, the radiator is removed from underneath the car.
Answer 2Ideally you need to know from where the coolant is leaking and then fix the problem part. For the person above it is a plastic coolant elbow and can be purchased at a autopart store (autozone or pepboys or orileys) depending on the year for your car there my be 1 or 2 elbows for approx $10 each. Replace both at the same time. To replace them you may need to loosen/remove the tensioner assembly under the alternator where they fit into and then carefully reasemble.Hope this helps.

Answer 3:there are two coolant elbows that connect from the block to the alternator bracket. little cumbersom to replace... but not too bad. these elbows are available through GM, I'd stay with OEM parts with the cooling system they cost next to nothing and they are used on the 3800 because the alternator bracket doubles as a coolant passage. Make sure you lube the O-rings well on the new elbows so they don't tear when installing. Also you will loose lots of coolant when the bracket is removed so have a collector handy and a bottle of DEXCOOL. I would also asses the rear valve cover gasket while you're in there, for this opperation will have to be repeated if it starts to leak!Tip: Ask the GM dealer for a parts print out on the alternator bracket... that will give you a diagram with all of the mounting bolts to remove, also you should only have to remove the serp. belt, the overflow resivoir, and the alternator to be able to remove the bracket.
