See if can give me a step by step to replacing the alternator on a 06 h3. Thanks ahead of time!!

 

Peeked under the hood the other day to do regular maintenance and wondered the same thing.

I have a 2007 I5 and would appreciate anyone who has done this to give a blow by blow as to how to replace the alternator.

Is the procedure the same for the 3.5 and the 3.7 ?

 

came up a while back,do search,,?

hold on!! i remember the book starting with,,remove intake manifold. we talked about cutting a chunk out of inner fender.

the starter is similarly buried under exhaust

this 4 i5, 3.7

ill recheck book,,it takes time to find stuff

 

There's two ways to do it... one is to remove the fender and wheel well, the other is to remove the intake manifold and what not... neither are easy... I think the GM book quotes 8hrs for labor... Had one replaced under warranty but now I want a beefier one so looks like I'll figure it out first hand...

 

lost my connection 2 hrs ago, the book says remove wheel,fender liner,THEN,THE AIR COND COMP. that was the catch. nobody likes doing that.

on many veh u can move it aside.
i dont know what the guy did b4 in the post earlier

the starter requires the intake,,,definetly not a user friendly vehicle,,fun to drive,not to fix!!
