Alternator
Alternator
So, it seems that a bearing has gone in my alternator. I have bought a new alternator.
Has anyone changed the alternator? Any write-ups hints or tips...?

Re: Alternator
Can't find much info some say it's a front end strip but this thread viewtopic.php?f=47&t=126708&p=866305&hi ... or#p866305 doesn't.
Re: Alternator
Oki, cheers. The thread you linked to was just for the tendioner and belt, not the alternator itself? Or..?

Re: Alternator
Ah, yes - sorry. I was concentrating more on the diagram. Other web searches imply that there's a fair amount of stripping required to get access to some of the fittings.
Re: Alternator
Bumper/undertray off. Headlights out. Pull the front out into “service position”. This gives access to the belt/tensioner and alternator. About a 4hr job in total.
Note that oil / coolant must be drained.

Re: Alternator
Wow, simple job! Isn't the C6 alternator water-cooled?
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Alternator
Yes. Watercooled.

Re: Alternator
It is a pig to try and do with the radiators in the service position, book says to remove the rads
