Hi there - you said the new alternator you put in was defective - where did you get it from ? Was it a brand new alternator that ended up being bad ?

Getting it in seems impossible right now, it seems like the alterrnator simply doesnt fit on the block, gonna keep messing with it

Hi love the video i wanted to ask what brand was the old alternator and what is the reason for the change because in the uk I wasn’t able to find except a brand called as-pl and it’s on order rn but I’m worried that it might break right away

Hey, the old alternator ( it was a remanufaxtured unit) was a brand called pure energy. I was getting an error on ISTA on that alternator, so I replaced it with a brand new Valeo unit.

i know its been many years but if you haven't found out what this is it looks like a modchip or maybe a sata extender of some sorts?

Where is this located? Had battery sign come up, changed battery but lost charge within 2-3 drives. Think it's my alternator but want to spend a few tries diagnosing before throwing more money at the alternator

I skipped a lot just making sure I was doing it right so maybe I missed it but looks like you were replacing a newer one.. ? Mine is still working but I have the car tore down so wanted to change it while its easy.. Now I'm worried about putting a new one in and it going bad..lol

I replaced mine because the newer one i installed was faulty. It was a rockauto rebuilt one. Replaced it with a brand new Valeo this time
