had the cr on the ramp tonight to put some new exhaust hangers on and had a quick look at the old alternator against the new bosch one i got... oticed on the other side to the pulley the one on the car has little black connector block with a wire coming out of it and a spade connector which plugs into the alternator...on the new one it doesnt hve this but has two spade connections sticking out..i presume where this little component goes (must have a connector under the black block)...what is it, do i need to transfer it over from the old unit...and why does it not come with a new one?
also..anyone attempted to remove the alternator without removing charger? we reckon it will come out if you remove the intercooler...
etka shows the part as a supression condensor? any ideas?
suppression condensers are normally used to stop electrical interference
yep to stop radio interference, I don't have one on my g40 since there's no radio in it. I'd like to say the reason is weight reduction but in reality I broke the connector for it years ago ;D
well i dont either but shall i just swap it over onto it then anyway?
Iirc matey, we only took the I/C off when we changed my alternator. We did slacken the charger off to give us abit more room but didn't remove it.
