Alternator replacement

[boxs2000]

My 2000 986s looks like the alternator has gone bad :( . Is there are a guide somewhere on how to replace the alternator on this board? :help: Thanks in advance

Wow that was awesome! I have been shopping for a new alternator and this would be great since most of the time its the voltage regulator is what goes bad. I will try and hope it works for me also. I will be taking on this project in the next week or so and will keep you guys updated.

This site just saved me at least a thousand bucks! :clapping:

Porsche sells alternator for about 900 bucks plus installation, you can find it on line for about 3 to 400 bucks, i did it for about 50 bucks from the info that tool pants provided. It really works! I have a 2000 986s 6 spd and it was the perfect match. The only hard part is that Bosch has updated the part number but can easily be cross refrenced. Its site like this with people like you guys that makes motoring fun! So if I ever get to meet Tool Pants I owe you a beer! (ok several beers served by a hot chicks) thank again, and you da man!! :beer:

You could also contribute $25 to the site ;) (I know, I know, I need to as well, which I will be soon!) ;)

Thanks!
