Audi A4 B6 - the Repair manual and operation

7.4.8. Removal and installation of the generator

The car is equipped with the generator of alternating current. Depending on model and the equipment the car can be equipped with generators of various power.

If later on the car electric consumers of high power are established, it is necessary to check whether the power of the installed generator is sufficient. If necessary, it is possible to install more powerful generator.

The alternating current developed by the generator becomes straight in constant for what the diode rectifier serves. Charging of the rechargeable battery occurs a direct current. The regulator of tension operates the size of charging current so that irrespective of engine speed tension remains equal 14 Century.

Generators are available on sale as exchange devices. The cost of the damaged generator is set off upon purchase new or repaired.

At work with electric equipment in a motive compartment surely disconnect a negative cable (-) of the rechargeable battery.

Thereof records of electronic blocks of memory, such as, data in memory of malfunctions of the engine are erased. Before shutdown of the battery study, please, indications of the Section Replacement of the Rechargeable Battery.

• Do not switch-off the rechargeable battery or the regulator of tension at the working engine.
• Do not remove the generator at the attached rechargeable battery.
• When carrying out electrowelding works surely switch-off the rechargeable battery.
