How do you replace an alternator belt on a 1989 Audi 100??

You might try the 5000 forum since the '89 100 is essentially the car.

Run a search of the forums. Always a good bet that the question has been asked and answered before.
Alternator belt changes are not difficult, you just need to know what to loosen. Hit the forums and see what they yield for you.

I had the same problem. This is how I did it. I am confident you can do it the same way. Fortunately there are no other belts to remove. Get a replacement belt. (Cost me 11.95) Loosen the bolt at the top of the alternator. Accessed from top. Loosen the bolt below which has the Larger bolt around it with teeth. THat bolt will allow you to tighten or loosen the alternator once the belt has been fit. Then I loosened the bolt that came off the long support rod that runs from the adjustment bolt towards the driver side. Once the Alternator is loose put the belt on tighten up everything. Run the car for five minutes and inspect the belt when it is running. More than likely you will need to retighten the belt. Loosen the bolts and tighten the alternator. Start again and reinspect. I did it last week and no problems. The hardest part is loosening the bolts. Good Luck
