Hi, new owner of a (very sheddy) Seicento Sporting here!
While driving it home the other day (right after purchase) the "battery" light came on. Measuring the battery with a multimeter while the car is off shows 12.5V, while running around 12.39V. Guessing the alternator kicked the bucket, bummer.
How is swapping it? Found a few helpful threads on the forum.
Does a 900 (0.9L) alternator work with the car, I've found they're much cheaper than 1.1 ones.
Another option is rebuilding the alternator with a kit from Poland, any thoughts on that? Here is the kit https://allegro.pl/oferta/zna10023-zestaw-naprawczy-alternatora-zestaw-23-10872273038 but I'm not sure if it fits the 1.1 model.
Thank you
