To prevent the alternator bolt from becoming loose and breaking, the torque specification has been increased. The increased torque specification requires use of a new bolt on 1.9L water cooled engines. To repair a loose/broken bolt: 1.9L Gas Engine * Install new bolt, Part Number N 014 400 4. Torque to 25Nm (18 ft. lb.). Diesel Engine * Replace bolt only if damaged, Part Number is unchanged. Torque to 28-33Nm (21-24 ft. lb.). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Joel's notes: how do you tell if you need to do this? i have no idea ... if it breaks, put the new bolt in, i guess. or just do it anyway to be safe. ............................................................................ from Service Bulletins, Model Year 1989 ..........................................................................
