vw - vw sharan 1.9 diesel tdi 2001 - sparky100
Hi, the alternator on my sharen has been making funny noises the last 2-weeks, so i took it off and the pulley wheel has come loose. It seems to have a bearing on it which has started to break up. I can't see how this comes off. Can anyone tell me if this is replaceabe or does it mean a new alternator. Also why does it have a bearing on it. Any help gratefully received. Thanks sparky100.

This alternator is fitted with an over-run pulley,which in simple terms is a one way clutch drive.The pulley can be replaced as a seperate part,but you will need the special tool for removal.hth
