Nice jobb, chill out with the sealant don't need that much

[@elliotdavis4641]

Very good mate you know what you are doing and well explained as always. Good job done

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers!

[@john-paulb847]

I had Mine refurbed recently on the 530 and only cost £80, years guarantee. Much cheaper way to go through a reputable vehicle electrical company. ✌️

[@MaxxMustermann]

Hi George, Nice Job and well explained, from where you got the replacement parts ?

[@c.raymond1531]

Where did you get the bushing that broke t buy

[@flippy9133]

impact doesnt go up and down, drill with hammer function does. just FYI like the rebuild 👌

[@khalidacosta7133]

Yep, the torque is momentarily free spinning until it impacts the striker, causing a very brief momentary spike in torque, "shocking" the bolt off but not keeping the torque high enough to snap the bolt.

[@ianmowbray3284]

Great job, very well explained.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers Ian!

[@larrycampbell2500]

Nice work! I appreciate that!

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad you liked it!

[@manfredwolf9416]

Great video mate. Can you list the part number please? I've got the 2001 X5 4.4i and she has a 150A Alternator but the regulator might be the same. Cheers

[@robisunrobis]

Great video! Where did you get the kit from? And how is the regulator holding up? I suppose its aftermarket?

[@user-qs8ei9ly2k]

Good video. But would you be kind enough to give details of bearing sizes and screw sizes please. Also where did you obtain parts from. I have similar alternator and have purchased 5 different repair kits! Non of them have the correct plastic bush for the bottom of the housing!. My bush was also shattered! It appears that this is a relevant piece which gets damaged!! Great video😊

[@GeorgeAusters]

Isn’t the link in the description?

[@user-qs8ei9ly2k]

Cannot see a link in the description, thank you.Perhaps there is a problem somewhere as I have noticed a few people have similar enquiries, hope this is helpful!

[@nldestinyx1440]

Love this video and your accent! Much appreciated

[@352lambo]

You need to open a repair shop George!! I'd go to you before the dealership 🍻

[@GeorgeAusters]

🙌🏼

[@jaakko200987654321]

mercedes om611/612/613 has this watercooled alt also.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yep quite a few manufacturers use them👍🏻

[@williamchow1624]

Great Video. The silicon you used, isn't the temperature rating a little low?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks, no it’s fine👍🏻

[@KillSwitchGarage]

Intresting, not really familar with watercooled alternators since my 4,2 v8 fsi has it on audi its good to sneak around incase i need to take care of it at one point :P

[@Gevsm]

Can you please add bearings parameters both?

[@tonygarlingewarren7456]

Good video, where did you get all the alternator components from? Did BMW supply them or a third party, care to share details. Excellent job !

[@GeorgeAusters]

I will link them when I can as I’m away at the moment

[@Dannitk]

🙌🏼

[@bn8298]

I think my 02 cl600 has this alternator right

[@GeorgeAusters]

More than likely yes!

[@bn8298]
