 – Replace the alternator')){kind=link}
you remove motor mount and jack up engine now to can put your tool on tensioner or go through wheel well and this is a 3.6 motor
That is absolutely 100% (NOT) the way an alternator comes out of a 2008 Buick Lacrosse CX.
Good info, but that’s not the 2012. Similar, but different enough that I need to find something else.
Haynes is the worst……also wrong. Not even a Buick!
This video is not correct for a 2012 Lacrosse. Two of the bolts face the front of the car and are easily removed. The third bolt faces the passenger fender and a pulley is mounted with it. Please do not assume all Buick Lacrosse's are the same. Definitely will never purchase your manuals.
What are the tools needed?
Looks nothing like my 2012 Buick smh
My biuck lacrosse 2012 has an electrical failure, quickly discharge the battery and it does not advance, which could be
Doesn't work. Literally just changed alternator in my 08 lacrosse as we speak. Belt is on. Belt is loose. Belt will not tighten. Turn counter clockwise to loosen belt tension. clockwise to loosen actual tensioner itself. Tighten back. Belt is on and will NOT tighten.
Looks NOTHING like my 2006 Buick LaCrosse
I'll try the directions shortly
