I just replaced an alternator on a 1996 Audi A6 with 2.8L 12 valve AFC engine. On these older C4 chassis Audi it is easier, since there is just enough space to slip the alternator out. The newer Audis have a "service position", which may give you enough extra space to remove the alternator.

You may need to go to the A4 section of the forum to get the correct instructions, as this is the A6 section.
Before beginning, you will need the radio code. Some of the rebuilt alternators come without the pulley or with the wrong pulley. Next, disconnect the battery and remove the belt.
I looked in the Audiworld Tech Articles, but did not see for an A4 what you are looking for:
