Hi All,does anyone know where I an find a step by step guide/instrustions on how to replace an alternator on a 1994 Q.? some pictures might help too.

No offense I know its easier to tell you to search than to do the work for you But today I am feeling kind of tired.

I can how ever tell you that you will need to have small finger to get to the bolts.

You can start here:

zerothread?id=123915

zerothread?id=435018

zerothread?id=431621

zerothread?id=422133

OEM alternators are recommended

*Update - found a couple more:

zerothread?id=52150

zerothread?id=56358

there is a 30000000000000000000000000000000000 write up in the FSM: or you can remove the compressor.....I think its on page 29999999999999999124 if I do recall....

they say remove the compressor.i think the service manual says to remove almost everything in the front of the engine.

what i ended up doing was removing the battery and battery tray.removing the tranny filter letting it fall down.

then i loosened the bolts.see the problem was with mine it was oem so it was...somehow strapped to the side of the motor i still wated to use the plastis clip but got pissed and pry it out.

oh yea also there's a bolt that goes in the back of the alternator.

it's not being held with anything, but a dab of loc-tite glue and 10minutes of pateints helped alot.
