Frequently asked questions
• Your car is difficult or slow to start
• You hear a whirring, whining or squealing noise from the engine
• Your car's interior and exterior lights look dim, blink erratically, gradually fade, suddenly get brighter or don't come on at all
• Your battery warning light comes on
• Your speedometer stops working.
• You can smell rubber burning.
• Your car fails a multimeter test at a garage.
• The brush, a component which maintains constant electrical contact with the spinning alternator, becomes worn.
• Your voltage regulator fails. This makes sure that the electrical charge is passed to the battery at the correct voltage.
To fit a new alternator yourself, you must follow this process:
1. Disconnect the battery. You must disconnect the terminals in the right order and ensure it is completely disconnected before continuing.
2. Disconnect the wires from the back of the alternator. Label the wires as you go so you can reconnect them all in the right place.
3. Remove the belt from the pulley.
4. Remove the bolts. These connect the alternator to the bracket. Once these are loose, you are then able to get the old alternator out of the car.
5. Make sure you have the correct replacement alternator. The last thing you need is the wrong sized part.
6. Reverse the removal steps to install the new alternator.
