Can anyone recommend a good, cheap supplier of an alternator for a 405 TDi? Also, will the alternator be interchangeable between aircon and non aircon models? (70A & 80A I believe).
Many thanks

Hi Where are you based
Fitzy
London,
I've found a place that will recondition for £72 in Southampton, jasm.co.uk but they won't send a replacement 'til they have the old one to be sure it's compatible. This seems a fair price and wise philosophy.However as I haven't changed an alternator on the 405 before (and it looks quite awkward as apparently I have to loosen the belt through the wheelarch), I'll have to wait until next week before removing as I can't risk not having a car next week.
The price sounds about right for your area, here on Merseyside we would pay about £45-£50, Have the alternator tested,, sometimes the regulator is the culprit,, unless the bearings have failed, ?? good luck Fitzy
