Review on πŸ”§ CTA Tools 8088 Bosch Alternator Wrench: Perfect for VW/Audi - Find Compatibility Here! by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool for power tools

I wish it was that easy. I have a Golf 04 TDI. The washer reservoir must be removed or the tool will be too long. This is much quicker than removing the alternator from the car. The pulleys are tightened with a torque of 80 Nm/m, so that little effort is required to unscrew them. With these torque settings, you must take extra care to ensure that the teeth in both parts, the pulley and the shaft, are fully seated. The tool is well made, appears to be properly hardened and finely machined and finished. Not that it matters, but this article is in Taiwanese, not chi-com. That's why they're on the island.

Pros
  • Cylinder with 33 splines Fits in pulley retaining bolt
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
