I got to enjoy my alternator quitting on me last night leaving me stranded on the side of the road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) so I have a question now. Can I remove the alternator from the car while the engine is still in it? Are there any clearance issues that I will have trying to remove it while the engine is still in? Any help would be great as I am trying to replace my alternator where the car sits instead of having to trailer it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Please let me know! Thanks

Can I ask why you're sure it's the alternator that has died? I'm sure you checked the obvious stuff like the belt, fuses, voltage regulator, etc.
Had the bearings been whining for a long time, suddenly followed by something worse on the last drive? I'm just curious, as I've never actually had an alternator die in a 914 (knock'n on wood). I've used some nasty, crusty old alts over the years too. I splurged and bought a reman during the last engine build, so I'm hopeful that my lucky trend will continue. |
