Hello all, new to the forum and after a bit of help please

I need to replace the alternator on my 1.2 2006 grande punto, it has air con.

Could anyone tell me if there is a guide out there? Or could anyone tell me the best way to approach it?

Thank you

If you grab eLearn from here (it comes in a few parts so will need to download them all, combine them and then burn to disk) it should show you how it all comes apart.

Are you sure the alternator is the problem?

Had mine done a garage, got told by the mechanic is was a b***h of a job to do, cause it sits below the air con pump, bolts are really hard to get to!
Good luck

I'm pretty sure it's the alternator, the AA man said it was and it's making a noise also.


I've fitted coilovers, removed air con systems, replaced clutches, etc on other cars before but just wanted to see if there was a guide as it always helps.


Guessing I'll loosen the air con compressor to get a bit more access..


The downloads keep failing on me, don't suppose anyone has the elearn stuff already and could screen shot the bits for me?


Thanks a lot

Good news, alternator changed and all problems have gone away


Pretty easy to do tbh, took 2 hours ish as I took my time.


Hardest part was getting the new aux belt back on!


Removed the air con compressor to get access to the top bolt, cant see how it could have been done in situ tbh. Air con needed regassing anyway so wasn't a big deal


Bottom 2 alternator bolts were easy from underneath the car


Cheers

got any pics.., as it sounds like a GUIDE is needed for this.,

glad it cured the problem - nothing worse than unnecessary work + parts,
