The captive nut is made to slide. Don't get carried away, a few light taps are all you need.

Also, there are at least two different Valeo alts depending on the options/packages, maybe 100amp and 140 amp. If you have heated seats, you def have a 140amp.

My 2001 3.0i has a Valeo 120A. Good tip on figuring out the amp rating as well as Bosch-vs.-Valeo.
