I had a new alternator fitted about 12 months ago - this died after 11 months. Had another brand new alternator fitted one month ago and today it died ????
Does anyone know how this is happening ? My garage (local 4x4) told me that because he fitted aftermarket BOSCH alternators that this has been the problem. He is going to fit an OEM alternator this week........this will cost me yet more £££££ and I am not happy. Is his argument valid?
I have been having battery drain issues for the last 3 years and finally narrowed this down to the sat nav / head unit recently. I simply removed the fuse to the unit and my battery drain issue has been cured ever since. Would this be a cause of the new alternator burning out after only a month ? Or is this just coincidence ??
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
