FatHead1979 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think in part it dependS what engine you've got, the diesels have larger, more powerful alternators (in general). My Denso alternator started to wear out at 115K miles on my 1.8 TDCI, it was still working however put dipped under load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It all depends on how many hours the engine has been left running, usually the bearings go before the brushes, (shh shh shh shh shh shh shh noise) Sometimes the brushes dry out and then quit passing current, If you have an electrician friend, and manage to find new brushes and bearings he/she can usually rebuild it for you at a quarter of the price of a new one, TBH all the do to recon them is do what i said above Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
