Automobile Generator 0124525009 TG15C065 TG15C017 06B903016Q 0124515053 Suitable for Audi

Pre-Installation Preparation

1. Confirm the Generator Model: Select a matching generator according to the specific year and engine model of the vehicle.

2. Check the Battery Status: Ensure the battery can work normally. If the battery is undercharged or in poor condition, handle it first.

3. Prepare Tools: Prepare tools such as wrenches, torque wrenches, voltmeters, and OBD detection equipment.

4. Disconnect the Power Supply: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits during disassembly and assembly, which may damage other electrical equipment.

5. Back Up Data: If the power outage lasts for a long time, use a memory saver to back up the settings of the on-board system.

6. Clean Components: Clean the components of the old generator, such as the end cover, bearings, rotor, and stator. The end cover and bearings can be cleaned with gasoline, while the rotor and stator can be cleaned with a soft-bristled brush. At the same time, apply grease to the bearing cover, filling approximately two-thirds of the gaps.

Installation Steps

1. Install the Generator: Mount the new generator in the original position and tighten the fixing bolts without fully securing them.

2. Connect the Cables: Connect the cables to the corresponding terminals of the generator to ensure a firm connection. Check the torque and tightness of various terminals to prevent ablation of the +B terminal and wire harness.

3. Install the Carbon Brushes: First, fit the terminals of the carbon brush leads onto the two matching screws. Then, install the carbon brush holder on the rear end cover, place an insulating pad and a spring washer on the end cover, and finally fix them with nuts. After installing the carbon brushes, check the resistance between the F terminal and the housing. Connect one end of the multimeter to the terminal and the other end to the housing; the resistance should be infinite.

4. Install the Belt: Adjust the generator belt tensioner, install the belt onto the generator pulley and other corresponding pulleys, and ensure the belt is installed correctly with appropriate tension.

Post-Installation Inspection and Testing

1. Mechanical Inspection: Check if the generator is firmly installed, and if the belt is fully embedded in the grooves of each pulley without detachment or distortion.

2. Electrical Connection Inspection: Inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are firm without signs of loosening or damage.

3. Reconnect the Negative Battery Terminal: Ensure a secure connection to avoid voltage fluctuations.

4. Start the Vehicle for Testing: Start the engine and observe if the charging indicator light on the instrument panel goes out within a few seconds. Use a multimeter to measure the output voltage of the generator: at idle speed, the voltage should be between 13.5-14.5V; during acceleration, the voltage should stabilize between 14-14.8V.

5. Use OBD Detection Equipment: Connect the OBD detection equipment, access the vehicle control system, check for any generator-related fault codes, and perform generator settings and calibration of the Battery Management System (BMS).

I. Core Specifications for Safety Operations

Power Off and Data Protection

• Before installation, the negative terminal of the battery must be disconnected. If the power-off time exceeds 10 minutes, a special memory saver should be used to back up the data of the vehicle's on-board computer (ECU), audio system, seat memory, and other systems to avoid functional abnormalities caused by data loss.

• If the vehicle is equipped with capacitive components (such as the electronic stability program module), after disconnecting the negative terminal, wait for at least 5 minutes to ensure that the residual current is completely discharged to prevent the risk of circuit short - circuit or electric shock.

Personal Protection and Environmental Control

• Wear insulated gloves, safety glasses, and oil - proof gloves to avoid burns caused by contact with high - temperature engine components (such as the exhaust pipe and cylinder block), and at the same time, prevent mechanical injuries caused by tools slipping.

• The operation area should be kept ventilated and dry, away from open flames. If there is oil in the engine compartment, it should be cleaned in advance to avoid fires when cleaning components with gasoline.

Circuit Operation Taboos

• It is prohibited to randomly connect the battery throughout the installation process, and it is strictly prohibited to use metal tools to touch the +B terminal and the housing of the generator at the same time to prevent short - circuits from burning out the generator or on - board electrical appliances.

II. Key Details of Component Installation

Generator Positioning and Fixing

• When placing the generator, handle it with care to avoid colliding with the carbon brush assembly and terminal blocks on the rear cover, and ensure that the bolt holes are precisely aligned. Forcibly aligning is prohibited to prevent thread or bracket deformation.

• The fixing bolts should be tightened in two steps: first, pre - tighten them until they fit the bracket, and then finally tighten them with a torque wrench according to the original factory - specified torque (usually 22 - 28N・m) to avoid uneven force caused by over - tightening a single bolt.

Electrical Connection and Carbon Brush Installation

• Before connecting the cable to the +B terminal, clean the oxide layer and oil stains on the terminal surface. When tightening the nut, use an SW14 socket wrench and operate according to a torque of 8 - 10N・m to prevent the terminal from loosening, heating up, and burning the wiring harness.

• When installing the carbon brush, ensure that the insulating pad and spring pad of the carbon brush holder are intact to avoid short - circuits caused by missing installation. After installation, the insulation between the F terminal and the housing must be tested. Use a multimeter with one end connected to the terminal and the other end connected to the housing, and the resistance value should be infinite. If there is conduction, check whether the carbon brush lead is damaged.

Belt Installation and Tension Adjustment

• Before installation, check whether the belt model matches (Audi A6L mostly uses multi - V belts, and the belt width and number of teeth need to be checked). If the old belt has cracks, missing teeth, or is aged, it should be replaced simultaneously.

• When adjusting the tensioner, use special tools (such as the Audi original tensioner wrench T40027) to avoid deforming the tensioner arm by prying it with an ordinary wrench. The belt tension should be such that the mid - point of the belt can sink 10 - 15mm when pressed. If it is too loose, it is easy to slip and heat up; if it is too tight, it will accelerate bearing wear.

Lubricating Grease Application Specification

• When applying high - temperature lithium - based lubricating grease in the bearing cover, the amount should be controlled to be 2/3 of the pores. Too much will cause the lubricating grease to overflow and contaminate the belt, and too little will not provide effective lubrication.

III. Requirements for Tool and Accessory Use

Special Tool Adaptation

• The torque wrench should be calibrated in advance to ensure torque accuracy (with an error of no more than ±5%). When detecting electrical parameters, use a digital multimeter to avoid misjudgment caused by the insufficient accuracy of an analog multimeter.

• When 拆卸发电机固定螺栓时，if the bolt is rusted, soak it in a penetrating rust remover for 10 minutes before operation. Forcibly 拧动 is prohibited to prevent the bolt from breaking.

Accessory Matching Standards

• The generator should be an Audi original factory or OE - standard - compliant accessory. Check that the power and voltage level of the generator match the vehicle's engine model (for example, a 2.0T engine is adapted to a 150A power generator) to avoid charging system failures caused by inconsistent specifications.

• For 附属部件 such as carbon brushes, insulating pads, and spring pads, use accessories of the same model. Mixing parts of different specifications is prohibited.
