Don't Get STRANDED! How to: NA Miata Alternator Replacement

[@roelandzw1846]

I did get stranded with a dead alternator. The roadside assistence who towed me from a busy highway junction told me i had a dying battery who took the altenator with it in its fall. €100 for the alternator, €70 for the battey and an afternoon of wrenching did the job. Thanks to the many yt films there are!!🎉

how do you get your trunk to pop open so much?

[@AlexPerrucci]

It’s a lightweight fiberglass trunk

Any advise new alternator new battery on 1997 mx5 .next morning battery flat,Totally Empty. Thanks great Video

[@emiltoczyski260]

Great video, is that the alternator from a 1.8? The belt seems different than mine

[@AlexPerrucci]

No 1.6, w/ an OEM 1.6 V belt. If you get a belt from the parts store they're usually ribbed. They work fine but OE on the 1.6 is a smooth v belt.

[@josetorres3938]

Should I replace the alternator on my Nb if the belt begins to squeak whenever I turn on the headlights? I just replaced my belt for it and it keeps on squeaking whenever I turn on the headlights/ac.

[@roelandzw1846]

That 's alignement and tension. Babypowder might help. No joke

[@AlexPerrucci]

I’d check the tension, sounds like the belt needs to be a little tighter.

[@LolBlopsPlayer]

Had the same issue tightened it up a little and it went away

Good video, but that thumbnail doesn't look like an alternator.

[@roelandzw1846]

I can promise you about the thumbnail: it is really definatelly an alternator 🎉 the picture is from the back of an alternator and it looks kind of 2 dimensionale so almost straight from above...

[@MrChickenspit]

Anyone else have an issue where the charge light warning light doesnt illuminate anymore?

[@metskinator4602]

I did this and now my car won’t start any idea what I did wrong?

[@AlexPerrucci]

Check for any connections you may have missed and for any blown fuses.

Very useful video thanks! I was able to replace my alternator within an hour. I don’t have experience with repairs, but it was an easy job. I got to do timing belt,aluminum radiator,waterpump next. Probably going to the shop for that.

[@philtheoccultist]

do it own your own ! it’s not too hard im in the middle of doing it now. only thing that sucks is some of these pensky nuts are a little tough to remove since they haven’t been touched in like 30 years

[@SebastianOrtizS]

Thanks for The video Brow ,it's rare to see a HD video doing Jobs in the engine bay 😅

[@Seanybob94]

You can reach everything you need to access the alternator without having to remove anything from the bay, same for accessing it from the bottom.
