What timing. I've been chasing a random, sporadic clangy/grinding noise on my 2011. I checked out my alternator - and thought it was operating correctly with free rotation in both directions of the pulley, holding the alternator stator shaft and locking in one direction (clutch operating as expected) - so I've been looking elsewhere. Then I found your video - as soon as I heard that same clangy, random noise - I thought I was listening to my own video :) Thanks for posting this!
Your videos are so good!! Took me a minute to figure out that you were working from below with the Sprinter on a lift. Unfortunately, I don't have a life, but, fortunately, the Sprinter sits high, so hopefully I can do it laying on my back. Thanks again.
Thank you Sir! I try to use basic tools when doing a video because the Channel is all about saving money and getting a job done. I only use the lift for a video to get good footage. I hope the Video helped 👍🏽 Thank you
it seems easy i see a lot of oil in my alternator surely that killed it right? could I get an oil leak somewhere in that front of the engine? is that common?
No sir, that is not common. Check the front and bottom area of your engine. It sounds like you may have a small leak in that area. And the fan could be blowing oil toward the alternator.
Great explanation. Many thanks mate
@@pbsalyid5323 Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Good work!
Thank you for the video. I read somewhere on a forum that the sprinter is quite particular with either 180 or 220 amp. something just to be aware....
Nice job, thanks
Great video man.
you made it look easy! I think I may try myself to do this!! thanks
👍🏽
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!!
Thank you for your comment!
thank you for sharing this!
Great video but I never heard you mention which engine you're working on. ???
Sorry about that! It the 3.0L Diesel.
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 Thanks for your reply. I was looking for a video for a 2.1 diesel.

Just noticed the van has over 360K miles (7:22)... Mines is a baby at 120K. I hope it will survive that long...
Your Van will last longer 👍🏽
So you left the positive cable connected to both batteries?
Yes Sir, as long as the Neg Battery Post is not connected. The power to the vehicle is dead.
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892Appreciate your video!
@@wisconsinwoodsman1987 Thank you!
Hola quedado usa para sacar el alternador
Where is the tensioner? I can’t seem to find it
Toward driver's side about a foot up from the bottom of the bumper.
A CARQUEST alternator has failed. Let me replace it w/ another Carquest alt.
VALEO or Bosch is a better built unit.
lifetime warranty probably
