Hi All,
After months of trying to work out why my A2 failed to start on several occasions, and doing all kinds of (erroneous) tests, my battery light has finally turned on permanently and there's under 12v at the battery with the engine running - dead alternator me thinks!
I've found a decent refurbished option on ebay (£90 px) - Here
How easy is it to replace? Are any 'special' tools required?
Other than a new belt, is there anything else I should replace at the same time?
Considering just letting a garage fit it all for an hours labour, unless it's a genuinely simple/straightforward swap.
Thanks in advance!
