Default A6 C5 Allroad Alternator

Hi all battery light came on on my A6 C5 2002 Allroad then went off and came back on and stayed on. Would anyone know if it’s the belt or more likely the Alternator and I just wondered does all the front end need to come off to change the alternator if so or can it be done with the front end on. Thanks in advance.

Yes the car need to be in service position. Bumper off, lock carrier pull forward. Make sure you remove the plastic shroud around the inter-cooler otherwise the lock carrier will not come forward enough.

A buddy and myself were able to remove it, in level 3, no "jake" stands, and you have to just move a few things out of the way, it will come out, if you don't wanna take the whole front end apart. It was a pain somewhat, but it happened.
