ok so I burned my alternator... is there any cheap replacement? other than an alternator out of another 7? Is there a generic alternator I can purchase?
Because I don't have the money right now for a new one and I don't have to time for a used one cause I have to get my car out of the parking lot it's in rightnow..

 

Hmm... probably the best thing you could do at the moment is yank a battery out of another car, and drive it somewhere where it can sit for a little while, then change out the alt. if you leave the lights off it should go for a decent bit.

If you do decide to go for a used alternator, let me know. I've got one lying around (supposing you have an NA)

PS are you sure it's fried? Did you check all the wiring / fuses, etc?

 

You can use alts from the b-series mazda pick-up. I did that, its a direct fit with connectors and spacers beeing the same dimensions, Mine is an 86´and so was the donor car.

 

I went through 2 alternators in two weeks.
My first mistake was buying a alternator from pepboys which lasted about 5 days
then I purchased a bosch alternator that lasted about a week.
I went and purchased a alternator that was modified and still have it with out any problems. I have 140 Amps max.
This was back in Aug 01

 

I know you need it soon but I saw someone had a s4 alt for sale for like 30.00 in the sale section. Do a seach and see if it's still for sale

 

You wouldnt have this problem if you had paid me for the $10 dollar alternator I sold you on ebay in a timely manner, non-stamp buying fool!

 

I have an S4 TII anlternator. Let me know at FCTURBO2@hotmail.com

 

I got mine at Autozone...99 bucks but lifetime warantee...been through 2 now, but the warantee covers them always

good luck

 

get an FD alernator! you can get them for cheap from parts cars.
