Sealing up an alternator - is it possible ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ringo:
I agree - i will have to give it a good clean.

I always have - but having experiment i now know extreme measures are required.

This will involve getting all the air filter pipes, turbo pipes etc out of the way, unscrewing the three bolts that keep on the brush/diode pack and then cleaning it.

All in all, a bit of pain to do.

Hey ho.....

Sweet jesus - 4 alternators! Makes my two look pathetic. I hope you got them on warranty.... In future, im going to get a new brush/diode pack and change that before i get a new alternator - £17 as oppossed to £60!

thank yourself lucky, ive lost count of how many alternators ive fitted to mine  :roll:
its gritty water that gets in there and grinds it down  :roll:
i just give it a good power wash off after (engine running) then leave the hose onit for 5 mins afterwards let it flush whats left out
its just one of them things, if you dont want replace them then dont go into mucky water  :lol:

i must be lucky....havn't killed one yet despite many muddy dunkings!

I find it best to lay the vehicle carefully on its side so that the muddy silty stuff flows out nicely..... like this----->
:lol:
Just mind you don't bump your head..... hurts like feck and makes you a bit spaced out for a minute or two!
