Alternator replacement

[audiprotn]

You may not need an alternator --- maybe just the regulator. That was my issue, as with many others on the forum as well. Regulator cost only about $40 iirc. But you do have to drop the Alternator to swap out the regulator.

Ref the pulley, there is a place where you can put a socket wrench and use that as leverage to move the pulley up, releasing tension .. look for it

Found it : I bought my regulator for $36 from RMEuropean.com - Bosch # 0031546506

Thanks, I read about it but decided to go with remanufactured Bosch for $150. Coming in this Friday.
