Hi. And many Thanks for comment. And Good 2018 year !

[@Dr1nksNE1]

Helpful video, thank you. It would have been nice to see the repair completed and the alternator bench tested for proper output voltage.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment.

[@MrRepairmanjack]

Hello dear friend. I have an e30 325i from 1990. At the time of starting it, the car starts but it feels like it is staying. Then I give the accelerator a couple of kicks to increase the rpm and the operation stabilizes, keeping it until it stops and turns on again. I tightened the alternator belt and changed the IAC as another youtuber had told me, but today I tried it and the problem persists. I would appreciate some information about the problem, if you had to see something similar. Thanks and regards from Chile.

How many miles on this odometer ? Working on a e39 540 with the same alternator with 200,000km, I'm thinking the brushes are probably due to be changed

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

About 140 000 miles

Hi dude, I guess the process for this alternator will be the same for a alternator from a BMW 540I E39?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You are right. :-)

[@MonoLucas123]

To me, the bearing sounded dry... should need regreasing. Bearings should not spin that easily and freely.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You. :-)

[@MrRepairmanjack]

Looked like a sealed bearing to me.?.?.?

[@damir19081]

How do you take this bearing out on 13 minute that you are playing with ?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]
