Is there a secret to getting the altenator out of the engine compartment? I can get it off but not out of the engine compartment. Im doing it from the bottom. |
| Fix / Recommendation submitted by Linda - on 11/11/2009 | | to get the alternator out of the engine compartment you need to undo the 5 bolts and the bracket under it then tilt it to the side and jiggle. It will come out that way with a bit of wiggling :) |
| Fix / Recommendation submitted by Drew Watt - drew.watt@virgin.net on 17/12/2009 | | For some reason the charging system is linked into the engine cooling fan ECU. I had a similar problem a few years ago which was resolved when I replace the cooling fan ECU located in the boot behind the carpet. |
