not easy on the A4 cant you line the fan up so it comes out enough to remove the alternator?? if its the twin electric fans they should be able to be unbolted and removed as a single unit

not a lot of room there to remove it, the bumper will have to come off by the sound of it ( same as a timing belt replacement ) unless its a viscus fan and only one fan there??

there is a hex bolt slot on the fan but it turns fan when i use it, do you think there is any way to take it off this way
