Taking Off Belt Tension w/ stripped bolt
Hey fellow Audi members. Another issue I hope you help me out w/. a belt broke that runs from the alternator. So I have to take off the A/c... belt. Well, the tensioner near the A/C bottom hexagon bolt is stripped. So I can't use a allen wrench. I was going to use a T-40 hex socket, which would of worked, but it won't fit in there w/ a ratchet. Any suggestions?? Any suggestions in tools?

it won't fit in between the bolt and front end. can't even get a ratchet and a socket. need the narrowest t-40 hex so i can get it in there to remove the bolt.

3rd. Bite the bullet, pull that thing forward
It's not as difficult as it sounds, and it makes the front of the engine so much easier to work on. Heck, I sometimes remove the front bumper just to make it more comfortable to access the rear of the engine compartment (you can lean against the top of the front carrier).
