Alternator Help/Advice needed

(1/2) > >>

Blu:
Sorry if you read this in other thread, but I didn't see that anyone noticed it...and the item on ebay is ticking down 28 mins left.
I have recently replaced my Battery, having been caught out by the last cold snap, and knowledgeably knowing that it was inferior for the previous two years.

Since changing the battery, I have noticed that my rev counter has been 'bouncing' erratically and at times none existent, could this be the alternator?

If yes, and I need to replace it, what should I be looking at in terms of manufacture output & average price?

Would this be a good deal? <- link to ebay).

or what John Craddock has to offer, not sure, which one I need. (YLE10113 /RTC5680E

Any help or advice greatfully accepted.

I will try and find out the persons name becaus i think he had a few.

Blu:
Thanks Wizard.
I never got to bid on the one on ebay today, I was really, really hoping that someone on here would have given me some advice before the auction ended.

beast5680:
if your rev counter has been erratic check the wire connection to the back of the alternator thats where it gets the reading from if the wires loose or a bad connection that may be your problem

Hi mate had the same probelm with my 300tdi ES 1994  :( it turned out it was the single connector on the back of the alternater was lose and a lttle corroded so i cut it off and replaced it hope this helps as its a little bit cheaper than replacing the unit  :)
