According to my Porsche dealer, i need to get my alternator replaced. If i wanted to buy an alternator for the car, can anyone recommend a good site? Its for an '08 Carrera 4S. Thanks.

There are 6 alternators for your year car. We need to know...

US/Canada or RoW car?

Manual transmission or Tiptronic?

Free wheel pulley or fixed wheel pulley?

997-603- 012-FX-M14 is the only Bosch part number Pelican shows as the OEM suppliers part. No other numbers listed. If you're still in doubt call Suncoast parts and ask 'em.

I thought manual = free-wheel, auto/tip = fixed .....

I just had to buy a new alternator myself (2002 C4S). I didn't buy from an official dealer as you will pay 3-4 times more for the same thing since they can only buy from Porsche NA. I just paid $375 all-in for a Bosch (you can probably do better but I needed it immediately) which was exactly the same as the original I pulled out of my car. I have a manual transmission. If you have a tip/automatic it will be less... closer to $300. Alternator is one of the easier things to replace on the vehicle if you are so inclined.
