painterman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 hi, my battery light was on when I started it up this morning and it makes this wurring noise when I accelerate, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sounds like you need a new alternator. When the engine is running try tapping the alternator with a hammer, if the light goes off then you have worn carbon brushes. Unfortunately you won't find somewhere to replace the brushes alone, only option is to get the alternator replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 It would depend entirely on which garage you go to tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I had my local dealer replace the alternator on my 55 Focus Zetec Climate about 4 year ago, that was a total bill of just over £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
