alternator PN#

[Mother]

I was wondering on a 2000 996 carrera 6spd if any boxster alternators would work.? Or are the different numbers?

Looks like the answer is -- yes.

Porsche also sells rebuilt - exchange starters (996604103X) for MSRP $239.98

[Mother]

Porsche dealers sell the rebuilt starter or alternator for that price? Trouble is I need a alternator by tomorrow morning and will have to go with a used one if I can get.

[Loren]

Yes, that is the exchange price for a rebuilt starter from Porsche - if a dealer charges you more then they are gouging you big time. There is already a big markup in all Porsche MSRP.

I am looking for an "Alternator" not Starter just want to make sure we are on the same page.

Get your alternator rebuilt. There are usually many shops thats will rebuild or supply parts to rebuild for under $100 bucks. I rebuild my daughters alternator for her 944S for $13 a few months ago.

Thanks for the heads up and ended up with a good used one, I had to be up and running the next day and did not have time to look into it more, however the used one was abit more so had get a cheaper home. Still works great after 700 + miles.
