How to: Replace you VW dynamo
Volkswagen dynamos and alternators are very robust items that give many year?s of service providing they are well maintained at regular service intervals. How to keep a generator well maintained? Simply by checking the fanbelt tension and making sure it is neither too taught, nor too loose. Simply put, a fanbelt that has been tightened too much causes excessive loading on the generator?s bearings. This loading will cause the dynamo or alternator?s bearings to wear out very quickly, so make sure you check your fanbelt for tension often.
