Alternator replacement

[mad in general]

I reckon my alternator is in the process of seizing. Parked the car up and looking at replacement.

Anybody used one from eurocarparts?

Aye they're s**t. Buy a genuine Valeo one if you value your time

Not wanting to frustrate you more, but double-check and then double-check again.

It took a Renault dealership three attempts to get the correct one for mine. Now they could have just been plain numpties and ordered a bin bag and a block of cheese on the first two attempts. But I got the impression that there was more than one option available?

75amp for the Cup alternator and 110amp for everything else.

They're the two options really.

I sent mine to a local electrical specialist and they condemned it. It was overcharging and ruined an Odyssey battery.

Genuine Valeo £140plus vat

Yeah it's the 110A I need.

Anyone know the model in the valeo range and where I'd get one?

I've only seen ones up at £240+

Cheers
