Pretty sure it's on the way out and wouldn't mind trying to replace it myself, but I've heard that:
a) If it has a 120A alternator, it should be upgraded to 150A
b) This would require a software update to the car's ECU
That means that I probably won't be able to do this job myself if it is a 120A.
Thanks for any help  |
you will need either the part number from the existing alternator, or call up volvo and get it from your cars original spec. Lots of things seem to affect what was fitted to the car so it's the only sure fire way. This was discussed on a number of threads, and I don't recall anyone else coming up with a solution. Have your battery checked, and your aux belt and tensioner checked before you assume it's a bad alternator.
