Alternator advice needed !!!

Post by Hdog13 »

Hi all my van broke down last night !! Engine just stopped and would not restart battery flat as a pancake !! AA man said alternator was knackered only giving off 9. whatever volts so taken alternator off to order a new one (about the limit of my mechanic knowledge!) Had a look on brickwerks and jk problem is the part number on my alternator brings up a 90 amp one but the bosch label on my alternator says 65amp !!!! Also noticed i can buy just a volt reg pack (lot cheaper) does this sound like might fix the problem ? As always any advice given is appreciated

Yup, swap the regulator pack out first. Its only two screws.
