A big thanks to Mat from drmgs for supplying me a 2 pin alternator and the guys on the forum for the how to.
Managed to fit the new regulator pack in about an hour.... A fiddly job but did doable. A decent 1/4inch drive socket set with various extensions and flexible drives, a magnetic pic up to retrieve the dropped bolts and an inspection mirror is a must! |

Well, unfortunately either the slip rings must be too far gone or there is another fault on the alternator, as the fault came back after 3 days....removed / replaced the brush pack but no good
So spent this evening replacing the alternator on the driveway from underneath following arctics how to All now seems fine so fingers crossed.....H |

Started with brush pack replacement then battery and alternator Every time I thought it's fixed and every time after a few days the charge light Returned to the dashboard I eventually traced the fault to be 3 broken wires in the loom behind the offside headlight Regards Chris |

How do I know which valeo alternator I have in my 2004 ZT-T diesel as I can't see any labels, I'm tempted to get the whole regulator unit and want to make sure I get the right one

Original fitment alternators have R3 printed on a label facing upwards.
If it isn't original then it could be difficult identifying it !

I can see R3 on the cover but nothing else due to the label nit facing upwards, does that mean I need to check whether 2 pin or 3 pin?
