How To change The Alternator On A MK6 Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI

[@smdphotogphotography7726]

Lol, you're not the only one to fall for this, I've just done the same. I had the battery light flickering on for a while, so I checked the battery, ok it was a bit low, so I changed it.. Battery light still flickers on, so I changed the alternator.. Battery light still on! So tomorrow I'm gonna do what you did and check that £1 fuse! Thanks for the info!

Great help mate. fortunately I tested alternator 1st with multimeter...it was charging good so light on was another problem (broken wire !!) Would have been scratching my head for a while tho cos fuse had blown and I didn't even know there was one for that til I saw this so kudos to you mate..and thanks for posting

Do you know what amp alternator is required for this engine please 120 or 150?

Thanks for the video, what tool did you use to get at the bottom right bolt as I didn't have room with a standard 16mm socket and wrench, the catalytic converter and bracket is in the way. A regular spanners awkward because the alternator housing is in the way of it too.

Hey bud, I have the exact same car as you and have the exact problem... ill see if your fix is the same fix for me. I have the battery light on and have replaced the battery and alternator.

[@mclaren_media9145]

Yes try it when we troubleshoot the issue turns out from a wiring diagram the battery light turns on if the fuse breaks so check the wires for a short then chrck the fuse box as we repaired the wire and still same issue then check the fuses and found oht it had tripped

Do you have to remove the AC to replace alternator?

[@mclaren_media9145]
