Got the alternator out last night; add PB B'laster or WD40 to your list of necessary tools for this job. I wiggled the little guy back and forth for a while before coming back and reading this thread...
Tried swapping the regulator to no avail. Got it home today and put a fresh battery in it, now the car won't start; just turns over and immediately dies. I started a new thread...
Alright, I'm towing mine home tomorrow and DIY'ing this job. My indy's quoting me $1200 for parts/labor for alt and battery and I just can't justify that when I can spend $100 on a tow,...
My tech can get a reman from Audi in the $500 range; thinking I should just go that way and be done with it... *grumble* I know it's not a Toyota Camry but still, no reason whatsoever why it should...
Ha! I had a feeling that was you, LOL. They do have a lot of positive reviews on NewEgg.com, however. Wonder if you just got a dud?
What about this one: http://www.amazon.com/ALTERNATOR-2003-2004-0-124-615-008-077-903-015R-0124615008/dp/B009VKK3TS
Is 077-903-015R right or no?
Well luckily I don't *need* mine again til the snow starts falling, but at the same time it's sitting on my tech's lift after he just did all that work to it

Mine turned out not to be the voltage regulator. It will need a complete alternator replacement. If anyone has a line on an inexpensive one please let me know; the control arms, shocks, steering...
Anyone have a part number and reliable source on the Bosch unit? We're talking alternator or voltage regulator at this point?
Other_Erik I sent you a PM regarding the one you have. My car sat for...
Good to know this isn't as complicated as I was expecting. Thought it was another "Remove bumper/engine" job, lol. 82,000 miles on mine now and I expect it will come sooner or later. No idea how old...
