my car has the same sound, if i listen carefully it's looks like it comes from the alternator. Car also has strange issue, when the car is idle and you press the window switch revs drop a little bit and then go out when the window motor stops working, also same thing happens when the heated seats are turned on. So i plan to change it and I hope with the horrible sound it makes will go away and the window scenario will go away as well. Does your cars do the same when you idle and press the window up button?
Impressively clean E39. Great video.
Thanks Toby McGuire
Hi it is really a nice and detailed video, do you have a DIY video for changing alternator/voltage regulator on 2009 e70 BMW X5 4.8i.
Thanks
An excellent how to video. Well done and keep them coming.
thanks for the video, need it for my alternator replacement. just wish it would have happened on a saturday, not Sunday at 5pm….jajajaja
what do you do if the check engine light and transmission fault gear dash light come on after changing the alternator?
is there a reset icon use from the turn signal button?
Great video… Thanks
What a beautiful train sound at 5.09. greetings and thx from Bavaria
Great video. Can you describe any other symptoms that helped you to determine a failing alternator? Thanks.
THX for ths Video 🙂
Soothingly beautiful and aesthetic
Great video. Followed it to a T and replaced mine earlier today in about 2 hrs. Although it turned out all I really needed was the deflector pulley on the top alternator bolt (which I replaced 60k miles ago with the cooling system overhaul grrr….)….For a vehicle with 151k on the original alternator it was time anyway. New one seems to push a few more amps than the old one (according to the onboard test it seems to anyway)
First off, stellar video! Best out there. One question…My alternator is not wanting to go. It will slide side to side but I feel like I am lifting the entire engine when trying to get it out. I've taken all bolts and connectors as the video indicated. Before I try to force it out, anything that might be in the way?
nice replacement video
