2005 147 GTA Alternator

[danielc]

Hello,

The alternator in my 2005 147 GTA Monza just went, has anybody experienced this and have any ideas how much it will cost to repair/replace?

Any help or tips would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

Have a read of this thread, some comments about re-conditioning vs buying a new part from overseas:

Your approach may depending on how desperate you are to get moving again.

Good luck getting it sorted.

Much of the cost is removing/refitting the alternator. I understand the front suspension subframe needs removing for proper access, so that means hoist, wheels, probably lower wishbones, then subframe removal...then access the alternator!

I was left stranded in my GT after the voltage regulator failed. I decided not to wait for parts to arrive from overseas. It cost over $1K to have this fixed (replacing only the voltage regulator), and allow 2 days labour.
