Re: Is my alternator dead?
Just FYI, Dave....
My 07 SE's alternator died a week after I got the car. Had a Valeo on it, took the bad one in, got a new Valeo and had to cut some of the plastic around the A+ stud to get the lug to fit.
Two months later, new one quit charging. Took it off, exchanged it for another Valeo - the new one had a different design to the plastic housing around the A+ stud = it fit the lug just fine.
Both had the N/A pulley on them. But there IS some variation in the housing design - was my first one intended for an SRT? Don't know.
