Alternator, genuine part or any?
« on: 22 June 2016, 13:04:36 »
I may need an alternator, if I do must I have a vauxhall one or no?

Just got a price for vauxhall one £150 + vat + £61 surcharge*(refundable on the old one)

Cheers

If you`re not able to diagnose and fix it yourself then I`d look at a local auto electrician for an exchange unit, the last one I got was around £50 for an exchange unit.

Local motor factors might be cheaper, but no guarantee of brand...

Parts are readily available for repairing it as well at a fraction of the cost if that proves to be the problem ;)

That said, for a new alternator, £180 isn't unreasonable...

I bought an unbranded 'remanufactured' alternator from ebay a couple of years ago for £69.95 with 12 months warranty.  :y

Depends what the amp rating of yours is.  Here's a 70 amp one for £38.40! Says it fits a 2.2.  ???  :)

Shop around!  :y
