Ampage of alternator

[Tonicdb]

Can anyone help with a new alternator advice. a garage wants £850 fitted to take an alternator out and recondition it as they can’t find a replacement. Sounds like alot no? Are aftermarket ones available for this and could anyone tell me what amps mine is. 182 clio with aircon?

110 Amp.

Don't bother with aftermarket, find a reconditioned Valeo.

182 with AC has a 110A alternator

Thanks guys do you think £850 is a bit much - he said worst case! Obviously I’m not a mechanic

A genuine one these days is about £300 tbf

And fitting them is a bit of a pain in the dick

Good to know thanks for the quick replies. They seem like honest guys but always with a quick check!

Price of the alternator, then labour probably an hour to remove and same again to refit, plus new aux belt.
