i dunno scotty. if i just dropped all that money and time on the car at a shop and it was pulling shit like that, i would be back at the shop in a heartbeat.

^Agreed

I thought your model had the longer turn signals

maybe thats just the euro spec ones. Anyways nice car, i bet your loving every minute with it!

Congrats on getting her back , Scotty.

Thanks guys.

It's not the shops problem. This has been around for a while now I believe. The volts drop once you go WOT. The batt is fine as far as I don't need to jump start as it is holding charge, but ONLY because I'm running 5 psi and nothing more. And a fyi, if I want to buy a new alt, it's going to be around the $300 - $400 mark. Or maybe I will have mine rebuilt. And yes Coop, I will install myself.

Great news! Hopefully there won't be too many little bugs like this alternator deal.

@ the cramp and stalling it.

Ill buy you one and ship it there for less.

^take it! it'll be a ton cheaper.

How much are they brand new over there???

I wanna stick it in the tailpipe.


Oh, and the car is nice too

I had to buy one for my car two years ago. I got a remanufactured unit for $140 I think. Might have been $170. I don't remember.

Honestly, I'd just exchange it for a reman unit. They re-use the parts that don't wear out, and replace things like the copper windings and voltage regulator. It'll be as good as new.

Is there nowhere you can take your alternator to have it rebuilt?

I think I'll do that. I'll be going to get it checked out tomorrow. This no boost is starting to irritate me already.

Scotty

Scotty
