- Disconnect electrical connectors and remove the four mounting bolts.
- Remove the old alternator and install the new unit in reverse order.
- Refit the belt, reconnect electrical connections, reconnect the battery and verify charging system operation (approx. 14 V at idle under nominal load).
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures and torque specifications.
Common Faults And Maintenance
Alternators typically fail due to bearing wear, diode or regulator faults, worn or slipping drive belts, contaminated connections, or pulley clutch failure. Symptoms include battery warning light, battery discharge, dimming lights, and unusual bearing or pulley noise. Regular visual inspection and belt tension checks help extend service life. Typical service life often ranges between 100,000 and 200,000 km depending on operating conditions.
