Technical Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge alternator

You can remove/move the ac pump as long as you don't touch the pipes to give you more wiggle room, a helper/friend would be really helpful

Thanks, have driven it 2 miles to another garage who quoted £70 to install the alternator. Battery warning light came on after about 1.5 miles. Hopefully all sorted tomorrow

I've put the new battery in, started it up and the meter showed 12.67 volts so I'm guessing that new alternator is definitely needed.

What does it read with the lights on main beam, the heater fan full on, and the rear screen heater on?

Glad I manage to find you a saving, I have to admit I buy most of my car parts on Ebay, does require a bit searching and checking but most power sellers are a safe purchase?
