Alternator V6 problem

Shuriken_57 · 28th August 2021, 00:08

Hello, I still have a new problem on the 75.

I was driving this morning, the battery light came on with the message "alternator problem".
Then the message went out a few seconds later.

I looked under the hood to see if the belt was broken but it was still there.
I noticed that the indicator lights up above 3000 RPM (with the same message) and the battery no longer charges.
After a few seconds, the alternator recharges the battery again if I do not exceed 3000 RPM.

What do you think? Is the alternator to be changed? Is this a difficult job?

Thank you.

be alternator.
Some times you can give the alternator a light tap with a hammer and it will then work for a short time until you get a new one.
It frees up whats left of the bushes some times.

Good morning guys.

I dismantled the alternator, the new alternator arrives tomorrow.
I noticed that my hydramount is broken.
Do you know where I could get one?

I feel some vibrations at idle.
Thank you.

When you say--dismantled--do you mean taken apart.--If so you could check the slip rings. You might have got away with just fitting new brushes.---

re hydramount, is there still a couple of different ones- ie one for petrol and one for diesel? If i remember correctly they had different coloured dots on them ?

Unfortunately it seems the manufacturer of these has indeed moved to 'one to cover them all' - not ideal, however I've fitted one to a V6, 1.8 and Diesel recently and all were wonderfully vibration-free afterwards.

The lifespan is the question, but with our warranty that's nothing to worry about regardless
