    This and the intake removal one are perfect how-to videos, really helped. No annoying background music, notes the size of the tools needed, explains those pesky clips. Couldn't ask for more, thanks. Oh, a 3/8 drill bit works for those dowel pins, tapping on the pointy end. I have so many in the drawer it's no loss to damage one.

    Thanks so much for posting that video. I was referred to this on a forum because I couldn't get old the alternator back in (removed to tighten the gear bolt and replace the clutch) in with pins projecting out of the body. After viewing the video I took the alternator to Lowes to find a bolt by inspection that would work to insert the pins, ended up getting a 5" x 3/8" hex bolt to use as a tool, worked well. Putting the alternator back on via that method was less than a 10 min job.

    I have a 2012 XC60 with 125,000. The warning charging light came on and the pulley had spun loose too. Your video saved me. Great instructions and directions. I went ahead and installed a new alternator and I'm sure I saved at least $1000 compared to what the dealer would charge for a new alternator. I did crack the Engine Coolant Recovery Tank Hose at the base of the elbow ($30) I have a clamp and electrical tape until I can order the new hose. I appreciate all the hard work putting videos like this online.

    Great. Thank you for a great detailed video. The Turbo (XC70 T6) is definitely easier - just the 10 bolts holding the manifold, a handful of connectors and large intake hose clamped to the plastic pipe. Easy removal and no required access from the bottom of the engine. Keep up the great work sharing your knoweldge and tips with us!!!!

    Really appreciate your putting this on RUclips. Did the job yesterday on my 2012 T6. The manifold video helped too though thankfully the steps to remove the manifold on the T6 are easier. Plus I ended up cleaning the throttle body and replacing all the gaskets. Keep up the excellent work!
    PS - the advice of getting a 5” hex bolt that’s 3/8” worked perfectly to hammer back in the metal sleeves.

    2. Saying that's good, also wondering torque specs for 4 bolts that hold alternator, & 12 bolts for intake manifold.

    i have an 07 xc90 3.2 190k and the "power system service urgent" warning msg came on today and windows/seats etc stopped working. My scanner showed charging volts was normal at 14 but then it went to 16 and then 17V after a couple minutes! Found the small coolant hose above the intake had coolant seepage residue all over it so it must have dripped straight down onto the alternator and shorted something. I yanked the intake (NOT FUN) and will try replacing just the VR to see if problem goes away. If not, new alternator.

    Thanks for the great video! I have a question about the pulley you are showing at 4 minutes into the video. On my car I can spin it as well as the alternator with the engine off. Im assuming its not supposed to do that. I'm getting a loud squeal coming from there when I run the engine. Also the battery doesn't seem to be charging. I'm thinking that pulley may be the culprit. Do you have any videos of changing this pulley out? When I looked up the part I think it was called the alternator clutch gear and flange screw. You also mentioned there were special tools for this install. Do you have the part numbers for the tools?

    Hi, Great videos and help 😊
    My xc70 has thrown the "urgent charging system" warning for a few years... just occasionally. Can't recall if the battery idiot light comes on. Anyway, i used to think it was the 'loose pulley bolt' situation, but after all these years i'm thinking it should just spin free by now and require the bolt to be torqued. (i did have batteries dying, but just needed the Sirius/satellite jumper). What could cause the warning to pop up so randomly, infrequently. Also, could the decoupled pulley be the problem? Does anything happen if that fails? 🤔 thx

      Yes, they are needed to hold the alternator tight since the bolts are going to hold the alternator from moving up or down.

    If it IS absolutely necessary to replace the pulley, how do you get the old one off? Is it just held in by that one bolt, and after removing the bolt you can just pull it off by hand? Or do you need some kind of removal tool? Thank you

      When the bolt is torqued The pulley is held on to the shaft by friction lock When the pulley spins due to the bolt back and off it caused damage to the pulley and it's highly recommended to be replaced If you're removing an old one yes you will need a tool to pull the old pulley off the shaft.
