Y33 alternator replacement: What else while at it?

[pnanda16]

97Q with 150KMiles, 'battery' and 'Brake' lights came on this morning and staying on. Idle voltage on battery shows 12V. Underload, it shows 11.5V). Considering the miles on the car, I believe the culprict is Alternator after reading numerous threads from before. Of course I will get the reman Alternator from Joe.

Many posts (by Dennis and others) also mention that this might be a good time to replace the 2+yr old battery, idler pully, bearings etc. Can i please get a list of what are the recommended replacements? This is a Y33. All the belts were replaced 6months ago.

thanks a lotPhal

you've researched, so not much more to say--except that posting in IOM for Q45 stuff will prolly get you more responses than posting in NOM.

I DO suggest you buy a trickle charger, and charge your battery back up BEFORE you replace the alternator.
