Great step by step guide, thank you. It’s given me the confidence to replace the alternator on my 05 trafic which has the same fault.

Little tip pal once you have backed the alternator bolts out quarter of an inch give them a couple taps with a hammer that will push the lobes in releasing the alternator so you won’t struggle to get it out… great content though mate

Great video. My Stop and battery light came on too, but the alternator is charging 14.2v constantly... don't want to replace alternator unnecessarily

Hi I had that a few months before the alternator failed completely. Sometimes when the brushes wear near the limit this happens but alternator works for a while after. You could have a bad ground or a damaged cable simewhere. Just keep an eye on it. If alternator has never been replaced you can take off and check bearings for noise and may be bring it to a shop to refurbish or just get a new one if you can afford🤝

Different vehicles react in different ways due to how their electrical systems work. It will run untill it drains the battery flat or it can also overcharge the battery too. Refurb or replace with a new one🤝🏻

@@TheKeenMechanic Next step problem. Actually it is related to your power steering pump video. Since, of course, the nut is corroded and blocked, when screwing in the whole pump, of course, when reaching the end of the thread, the pump is 90 degrees off from the position it should be. Any suggestions how to proceed? Bend the high pressure pipe with a propane burner? I was fortunate to find a spare whole piping set, but also with a blocked nut...I have it just in case the original one bursts...

@@nikbucalo Hi buddy, be very careful as these high pressure pipes are very hard to bend and you might snap it even with a lot of heat. You shouldn't have to do this if the HP pipe is the original one. Everything should fit in place. Whatever you do, do it carefully and safely and make sure to check for any oil leaks before fully assemble the van.

Great video! Thank you! In your opinion how many km can work an alternator? My Trafic has 250.000km and I don't know if could be better to replace the alternator, before it breaks down... Any opinion? Bye

My van had 154000miles which is about 250000km. It might be a good idea to replace it before it breaks as if you get stuck far away from home you could end up paying a lot more for the labour and recovery to a garage and they may not have the part in stock which could make the situation even worse. Hope this helps

Honestly the best way to go about in your case is to remove it and go to alternator repair shop to refurbish it for you. I am in Northern Ireland and in my local area there are 2 shops that do this type of work. Hope you have the same services in Australia

@@360hackern Hard to tell how long the bearings will last after they start making the noise. If you want to take the alternator belt and check when you start the engine then without alternator, Powersteering and AC running. If it still makes the noise it is from your engine. If not see if it is AC compressor if you have one or Powersteering. Hope you get it sorted. Does it do when the van is moving and you are driving or when you are stationery and just rev the engine?
