Replace Alternator on Toyota Corolla and Toyota Verso Diesel D4D Engine

Replace Alternator on Toyota Corolla and Toyota Verso Diesel D4D Engine.
All steps shown.
Original Toyota Alternator Part Number: 270600G011
Cheapest alternator out there is a Plus Line Alternator from: www.winparts.i.... This alternator was over €200 cheaper than my local motor factors!
Plus Line Product number: 0581974. Manufacturer number: 195.568.090.050
The alternator is down the back of the Diesel D-4-D engine and is VERY hard to get to.
You HAVE TO remove the right-hand (driver’s side) driveshaft just to have the space to get the alternator out.
This is an involved job and, amongst the usual sockets and spanners, you will need the following specific tools:
• Multimeter to test voltage getting to alternator
• Decent Impact wrench (not absolutely necessary, but really helps, especially with wheel hub nut)
• 30mm multi-point socket - for wheel hub nut
• Torque wrench that goes up to at least 215Nm
• 22mm open ended spanner - for serpentine belt tensioner
The video details the steps that you will need to take to replace a faulty alternator, but briefly it is:
1. Test alternator to make sure that it is not getting charge when engine is running.
2. O/S/F wheel off
3. Hub nut off
4. Wheel hub assembly partially disconnected from suspension strut (remove 2x 22mm bolts)
5. Remove 2x 14mm bolts that hold ABS sensor cable and flexible brake line in place to allow enough slack to allow the end of the driveshaft to be removed from the wheel hub.
6. Pop driveshaft out of wheel hub
7. Remove 2x 14mm bolts that hold the driveshaft in its support mounting
8. Prise apart driveshaft mounting apart to allow the driveshaft to be popped out of the gearbox
9. Remove driveshaft completely
10. Remove piece of plastic wheelarch shielding from in front of crankshaft wheel (to allow access to the serpentine belt)
11. Using (long thin) 22mm open ended spanner, move the serpentine belt tensioner anti-clockwise (down)
12. Take belt off of bottom (crankshaft) wheel and then off of the alternator wheel
13. Disconnect negative cable from battery (to prevent any shocks)
14. Undo the 10mm nut that holds the earth cable on to the top of the alternator
15. Undo the 10mm nut that holds the cables to the very top of the alternator.
16. Lift rubber cover away from plastic connector and push tab in, whilst pulling up to remove the plastic connector.
17. Undo the 3x 14mm bolts that attach the alternator to the engine block
18. Remove alternator - from under wheel arch
19. Fit new alternator, remembering to tighten the 3x bolts and replace the cable holder, connecter, rubber cover, the earth cable and its plastic cover.
20. Put serpentine belt back on - turning belt tensioner anti-clockwise to allow the slack to do this. (Belt routing diagram in video at 11:23)
21. Put driveshaft back into the gearbox - aligning hole in top of mounting as it slides back it. Then tighten 2x 14mm bolts.
22. Put driveshaft back into the wheel hub and loosely put 30mm hub nut in place
23. Reconnect wheel hub to the suspension strut and tighten the two 22mm bolts
24. Start car to test new alternator is working with multimeter - reading should be 14.xx volts
25. Listen to ensure the serpentine belt is not squeaking/ chirping - reposition if this is the case
26. Replace plastic wheelarch shielding (4x plastic push-type connectors)
27. Reattach the 2x 14mm bolts holding flexible brake line and ABS sensor cable in place.
28. Put wheel back on car and lower car to ground
29. Tighten wheel hub nut to 215Nm
30. Flatten the tab in the wheel hub nut to lock it in place
31. Replace wheel and test drive car.
