f*ck you GTi6 - waiting for the AA

[swampy]

Erm yes you can test the alternator charging in situ!!?

Just test the voltage across the battery!!

[Chris]

Got one or three here.
Can get it posted out tomorrow?

Also get it running pop a multimeter over the battery should read 14.7v if its charging.

[Andy]

Look on the bright side mate...

Errrr

Atleast your mileage is just that little bit less.

[Jonny b]

I have a good s16 alternater here you could borrow to get you back on road, would have to come get though

[Niall]

For the sake of 20 miles Id rather have a working alternator.

Oh in that case its f*cked, the best I had after removing the jump leads was 11.5v ish and it dropped down to 9 before the car cut out.

How much do you want for the best condition/newest/lowest mileage one posted?

Condition/Mileage/Price?

[C2K]

Electrical indeed. Normally it is accompanied by dimming lights! lol

Check the wires are attached to it properly and are not corroding else you'll solve nothing.

[Matt]

Have an xsi if it's the same?

[Chris]

£30 posted via ups 48, can do garenteed next day for abit more.

[Dum-Dum]

Chris that sounds great. Is it guaranteed working?
Whats the mileage and condition like?

Will you PM me your pay pal or bank details and ill sort the money out.

[Chris]

Came off sams old 5dr one, working fine, unsure of the milage though as it had the engine conversion.

[darrenjlobb]

Probs just knackered regulator / brush pack on the alternator, costs about 15 normally for brand new / 10 mins to change...that's all that genrally dies on alternators...

I have a feeling it could be worse than that, it had been eating my coolant overflow hose.

[darrenjlobb]

Oh hm might have burnt it up then.

[4WayDiablo]

I take it you went down rollercoaster road in Havant then! Lol

[Dum-Dum]

I take it you went down rollercoaster road in Havant then! Lol

Not a clue mate, I dont know road names.

[Niall]

Chris if you can make it to ace tomorrow, you can have the alternator for the price of dinner for me and the misses (£15 quid)

[4WayDiablo]

Very very bumpy road near tesco in Havant
Long straight. If you go over the bridge come down then hit the bump you get air.... not that I would know

Nope not that one, right down the bottom of Hayling Island by the gun emplacements on the long straight there.

The one time you bring Fiona is the one time I'm not going to be there? Faiillll

nope I've finally convinced fiona to come along. Think grants bringing his "friend" as well

[Kimmie]

Damn you, still don't believe she exists! Ohh, is this the 'friend' we all know about? Epic trolling opportunity?

[Kimmie]

^^^ FLOL

[Niall]

HAHAHA!!!! No kim its Ben

[stevieg]

only read tour reply about what happened. alternators f*cked. the abs and airbag lights come on and normally cars run like shite when the battery voltage gets below around 11/10 volts

[Dum-Dum]

Cheers Stevie. My airbag lights aint coming on cos all the ECUs and wiring for them has been binned. Is there anything I need to know about changing it.

[stevieg]

check theres close to battery voltage on ignition at the thin wire first as it won't charge without voltage there unless the engine revs are past 2500. other than that just disconnect the battery

EDIT: heres a link to the one i got http://www.hcdk.com/Default.aspx?ID=7&Gr...cing=VALEO or you could try a new voltage regulator as thats what goes on them 99% of the time which you can find on ebay with some cross referencing

[the milkman]

Dum dum I just wanna say your a police man right, and you've just admitted to going over the max speed limit and I'm guessing it wasn't even on a motorway............................ Good f*cking effort!!
