OOPS alternator woes.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Xtremeteam:
ive taken one off a TD5 disco when changing the engine & IIR it drives the waterpump out the back of the alternator

Mr Bump:
Ta

Looks like it does a bit more than wizz round on a belt and provide electrickery via a cable...it's even got oil pipes going to and from it.

I'm rethinking my original thought that landys can usually be fixed with WD40 and the appropriately sized hammer.

hobbit:
Some alternator systems power a vacuum pump of the back for the servo, would it be for that?

Mr Bump:
errrrr, could be?  Really don't know..

Possibly a oil supply for the bearings in the round bit that wizzes round with the belt?

When are they doing a Paynes manual for the TD5?   :roll:

hobbit:
No nothing about td5s, but the vacuum pump is oil  fed on other diesels I've seen, is there a pipe from the servo to the unit?
