Alternator Failed L322 4.4l Petrol

Bison · Sep 18, 2017

Hi all,

My alternator has failed and I am reluctant to pay £650 for a new one when I know they can be repaired. Back in the day there were alternator recondition/repairers in every town. Doesn't seem to be the case now.

My alternator is a bosch alternator 150 amp 0 122 0aa 1j0. Can anyone recommend an alternator repairer in the Newport, South Wales area?

I could do it myself but would prefer to get someone to do it however, what kit would I use and can anyone recommend a recondition kit supplier?

Thanks in advance

eurocar parts do one exchange bosch for £340.

That's still a lot of folding!

While they can be serviced...not many lacs do it.

Dont forget they are water cooled sealed units.

Do a little searching here and on the BMW sites, plenty of right ups on rebuilds and part sources. Taking them out is fairly easy - hardest part is jacking it up and draining the coolant.

Look on eBay there is a seller who reconditions them in the Hampshire area for around £250 ish. Think he does old for new exchange.
