A tale of woe a day before a seaside break.
You know how it is everything is going smoothly when the car your going away in returns home courtesy of the wife driving when she says Oh a light has just come up on the dash "power system service" or something with a red light.
So our V70 D5 P2 2002 model (one careful owner) 158,000 that we've had for 18 months has suddenly decided that it's time to play silly sod's. Flat battery indicates (after reading reports from you guys) that it's possibly the regulator or the alternator and further more the pulley is a seperate item. Seems we were lucky as it wouldn't have gone much further, anyway what now l ask, I'm struggling to know the best course of action. Removing the alternator would tell me which one to buy as there seem to be various alternatives according to car outlets and then of course there's the pulley removal tool to buy. Saundersfoot seems a long way off at the moment as we should be setting off from Worcestershire on Saturday morning. The alternative is press my good old Wentworth 940 into service to do the 170 miles complete with 2 dogs and shopping for the week. She's actually semi retired but if this gets no better then l shall be looking for replacement and it will be a 940........................ Anyone had issues with alternator replacement? .........fault codes etc. Your's in anticipation |
