I think my 914 has a bad alternator. I have checked the regulator and that is good. The belt is on tight. I think that leaves the alternator as my problem. Could it be anything else?
I have been told that the alternator is very hard to replace and requires the engine to be dropped to get to it, which I find very surprising. Can anyone tell me how difficult and expensive in labor it would be replace? Can I get to it from underneath without dropping the engine? Thank you! |
