I replaced just the belt on my 2010 A5 and I managed to do it without taking anything off. It was super difficult and my hands and arms were all cut up when I was done.
I did it!!!, mines slightly different to yours, alternator had 2 bolts and there was a mesh around the fan wich made it difficult but never the less, all changed in about 3 hours lol but happy days thanks again!! 🙂
How do ya know when the belt is gone , I’m here because my engine is rattling loudly from that location when I start the car , but the fan belt was replaced about 18 months ago ?
Nice video i needed to replace thermostat on my audi, ended up taking the front off amd alternator and doing aux belt and tensioner into the bundle. Bit of a ballache but i've got big hands hehe.
Thank you very much for posting this, mine failed yesterday. Had it fixed last night because of your video. I managed to do it without taking the coolant pipe off, and took the alternator off but left it in the area, just moved it about to suit.

How is long this serpentine belt?
