2.5 tdi 2006 . I have tried to take the altenotaor off today but it was very hard. I took the inlet manyfold off then I could not see the bolts that holding the altenotaor. Does the altenotaor belt operating or something else because I can't see belt . Please I need help . Thanks

The R5 ancillaries are gear driven, no belt.

There is a rubber coupling that is known to fail on both the alternator and the air con condenser and others with R5s have suggested changing these as service items.

Seems to me you need to get the Bentley service manual before you do anything. Bentley is a publisher by the way if you haven't been reading many threads on here.
