Hi love the video i wanted to ask what brand was the old alternator and what is the reason for the change because in the uk I wasn’t able to find except a brand called as-pl and it’s on order rn but I’m worried that it might break right away
Hey, the old alternator ( it was a remanufaxtured unit) was a brand called pure energy. I was getting an error on ISTA on that alternator, so I replaced it with a brand new Valeo unit.
Working on replacing mine now. So far at the last step of putting the new alternator in and aligning the bolts.. cant get them to align correctly, any advice?
Where is this located? Had battery sign come up, changed battery but lost charge within 2-3 drives. Think it's my alternator but want to spend a few tries diagnosing before throwing more money at the alternator
I skipped a lot just making sure I was doing it right so maybe I missed it but looks like you were replacing a newer one.. ? Mine is still working but I have the car tore down so wanted to change it while its easy.. Now I'm worried about putting a new one in and it going bad..lol
Thanks man i panicked when i removved the two bolts and shaking it didnt do much. No crow bar so i played around jamming a metal pry tool in tight spaces and lifting the pry tool
