Default Re: Alternator Valeo

I last changed an alternator about 40 years ago on my Dodge ute, it was $80 and took about half an hour I suppose.

Mechanic who did our breakdown alternator replacement on 2011 MC diesel took 2.5 hours, which I think says a lot about serviceability. I'm elderly now, going a bit slower, I stop to see the clouds... Maybe a few days of 2 hour sessions. Main problem is accessibility: in short, not good.

Maybe the extra man hours are cancelled out by the efficiency of modern cars. Dunno.
