- In this video I show how to change an alternator on a MK1 Toyota Yaris 1.0 litre!
Also know as a Toyota Echo and the Toyota Vitz in other countries!
BRILLIANT saved me hours of stress! I was able to get my alternator out without dropping the exhaust. I removed the cable support on the alternator, and was able to bring it out as per your route. Thanks for a great video.
Just a big thank you for your much appreciated videos on the various Yaris jobs , they are concise, no waffle ,and really helpful for novices like myself and gave me the confidence to "have a go"! Like a few other comments here , I managed on my car (2004 Yaris 1.3 ) to lift the alternator out from the top after removing the oil sensor without going underneath the engine .
No problem! I'm glad its giving you the confidence to do it yourself!
Awesome, been using this guide both times 😅😂. I found out you don't need to drop the exhaust, but you need to have someone for the car to stand on so the wheels can hang down. It gives you 0,5cm/0,195in extra to work with 😂😂😂. Thanks a lot 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this video. It enabled me to replace the alternator , without , I say again without removing the drive shaft from underneath or the engine mount from above. As you said , it just squeezes through if offered at the right angle. Another thank you for making the effort for everyone else to learn.
No problem, I'm glad it was useful!! It's nice to know these videos are helpful!!
For anyone doing this job, I couldn't get the alternator out initially, then I removed the screw holding the bracket of those rubber tubes up in the dip and pulled them out of the way. That extra few mm was what I needed to get the alternator through the gap.
Thanks. You saved me almost €400!
Thanks for the video, I'll be changing my alternator tomorrow. You made it look super easy and explained it well
Thanks! I hope it went well!
I replaced mine two years ago & removed it from the top of the engine, never went underneath the car once. all you need to do is reomove a few pipes and you can get it through the small gap created by removal of the pipes.
I agree. I replaced yesterday and is easyer from top.
Really well put together video, but one tip is to apply a little lubricant or assembly compound such as copper slip, or the equivalent, to bolts and threads. It will make any future disassembly easier and guard against rust damaged threads.
Keep on trucking bud!
Absolutely brilliant video! Very comprehensive and excellent camera work, well done and more vids please
Thank you!! I will be putting more up in the near future!!
There are some comments here about it being possible to remove the alternator from the top. I’ve done it today and this isn’t true - you can’t get the alternator between the inlet manifold runner and a brake pipe on the side of the engine bay. It’s impossible. This is on a Yaris 1.0ltr of 1999 to 2005. Thanks for this video, I would have had a nightmare without it!
Thanks for this. I tried taking the alternator out dropping the exhaust and still struggled getting through the gap but then googled, thinking I would have to take driveshaft out. More awkward to get through than one of those Chinese rings puzzles
No problem! Yeah it's a bit of a bad design quite awkward, once the exhaust is dropped the gap is still quite tight so I only fits if is turned in one certain direction!
Top tip
You need to clean / wire brush down to clean metal the place where alternator bolts on to the car because you might have bad earth connection and ruin your new alternator.
Thank you. Very helpful video.
No problem! I'm glad it was helpful!
How tight should the belt be? The new alternator I put in is screeching so loud. Charges battery but it's very annoying.
Supercar central tells you, “with a used belt the tension is set at the top long run of 11.5 and 12.5 mm deflection. Hope that helps.
Can you tell me what is the name of the bolt that connects the alternator bracket o the engine body? I am trying to find the part number for my Yaris 2009 sedan. It broke and need to replace.
Hi, it's the alternator mounting bolt not sure of the part number try giving your local dealership a call they should be able to supply them or you could try a scrapyard if you have one local to you! Hope this helps!
@@supercar.central thank you! 🙂
@@supercar.central it is a double ended Hex Flange Stud and not listed in Toyota. Sucks big time! :|
Oh that's annoying! Have you tried a scrapyard?
What kind of alternator does the Yaris 2008 need ? I have a Yaris and need a new one but don’t know the kind that I’m supposed to get
If you go to a car parts store they will ask for your numberplate and should be able to tell you the right one for your car! What engine does your car have?
Supercar Central i have no idea but I’ll hit up a Pep boys or some car store and ask them
I hope it goes well!
what year and the engine size is this car thanks
It is a 1.0 litre and a 2000 year but the process should be the same on all mk1 with 1.0 engine
do you have to get under the car to finish the job? can you not pull the alternator out from underneath the hood?
I don't think the alternator will fit to come out from the top but someone in the comments said that they managed after they removed some stuff. I'm not sure if it's the same engine though the engine in the video is the 1.0 litre!
My wife’s car is a 2007 Yaris, remove the oil pressure sensor 10mm and the alternator will come out from the top.
I'm not quite sure why you go trhough all this with loosen the exhaust and some other connectors, then you easily can take this out from the top, just unscrew the oil pressure sensor, it's like a 5-10min job. Same engine 1.0L
Yes I renewed my 2015 Yaris alternator today, one 10m screw to remove the oil pressure sensor, A tight fit but the job done, the worst thing was removing the multi plug on the end of the old thing. NOW A QUIET CAR.
Why do toyota make it so awkward to remove an alternator from a 1.0 liter engine
And I thought the Honda fit was a mission.
It's not too bad just time consuming!!
