Alternator V6 problem
Hello, I still have a new problem on the 75.
I was driving this morning, the battery light came on with the message "alternator problem". Then the message went out a few seconds later. I looked under the hood to see if the belt was broken but it was still there. I noticed that the indicator lights up above 3000 RPM (with the same message) and the battery no longer charges. After a few seconds, the alternator recharges the battery again if I do not exceed 3000 RPM. What do you think? Is the alternator to be changed? Is this a difficult job? Thank you. |

be alternator.
Some times you can give the alternator a light tap with a hammer and it will then work for a short time until you get a new one. It frees up whats left of the bushes some times. |

Good morning guys.
I dismantled the alternator, the new alternator arrives tomorrow. I noticed that my hydramount is broken. Do you know where I could get one? I feel some vibrations at idle. Thank you. |
