Thank you for being so vocal about everything you ran into, also getting great camera angles. Being this job requires many steps in breakdown, it was perfect seeing what's needed in a way that makes it something I can accomplish with confidence.
4 years later and this comes in clutch thank man. I love when YT works!
Glad I could help you out !
You don’t understand how much I appreciate these kinds of videos Gerb, your old videos are Gold to me man I’ve learned so much from you it’s cra7
Appreciate the camera angles on your video. Makes knowing where bolts will actually be much better.
Video came in clutch. My alternator died on my way home from the gym yesterday. Kept it simple and quick. Saved me
Gerb, any problem I've ever had, you got it down and ready to help out! Crazy stuff man! Thanks so much!
I'm feeling so lucky that I have almost the same car like you. Honda Civic SI 2008 Sedan is time to replace a new one now. Thanks so much for doing this show.
Glad I didn’t looked elsewhere, this is by far the best guide and walkthrough out there. Kudos to you.
Thanks Gerb! I'm going to have to do this tomorrow. Turned on my car and had a whining noise all of a sudden. Mechanics stethoscope placed on alternator helped me narrow it down to the alternator. The alternator also running almost 100 degrees hotter than anything else around it based on my laser temp gun. It should be straight forward after watching your vid. Many thanks!
Let me know how you make out... Hopefully the vid will help ya. Thanks to you for the support
@@TheGerbsteve It's done buddy. Less than 2 hours. Removal of the fan shroud created so much space to work and get the parts in and out. Instead of removing the entire serpentine belt, I just took it off the idler pulley and alternator and moved it slightly to the side. The belt went back on so easy and didn't have to fiddle with trying to get it around the crank and compressor. Once you get to the alternator it's a real easy bolt-off/bolt-on job. Most of the work is removing things to create the space to work.
wish I had seen this video before... I did the same job months ago, all by myself and it was a pain in the ass to do, but everything worked out... thanks man!
Thank you bro! A/C compressor vid coming next
Thank you so much Gerb productions for uploading these videos for us DIYers !! Saved me a lot of money
Awesome!!! I have an '06 that's still going, but I'm pretty sure the alternator is whining. The EPS triggered while on the highway, and the radio has been flippy since I got the car a couple years ago. I don't drive the car much, but I want to take care of her.
Great video wish I saw earlier, it was sooo tight. I moved the AC line a bit and removed the top pulley and JUST had enough space to get it out w/o removing the rad support but it took many tries
With all the videos you have my si might be a nice car again some day. You have a video for everything im trying to fix.
Thanks from the UK man, unless I had seen this I would never have believed it could come out this way. I ended up taking the support clip from the AC pipe off as well and that gave me a tiny bit of flex I needed to get the alternator past, it was a tight fit though. Thanks again, huge help.
Weel Gerb here i am again watching another one of your videos to fix my car. As always very informative and helfpul. Hope you are doing well man.
Big thanks from the UK. Given me the confidence to do this job now on my CTR 👍
Cheers from Alaska. Your video really helped me beyond words and saved me some cash. Super simple, learned a lot about my car in the process. Thank you. Slapped a brand new Denso in my 2009 Civic SI with ease.
Man this was so helpful!!!! I did exactly what you did with a few tweaks. Thanks a bunch Gerb!
Np man! I'm glad that i could help you out
Thanks a lot for the great video. You saved me so much time. Thanks for taking time to share on our car!
I made it for all of you who will need it ;)... Thanks for the support homie
Thanks for the instructions!
You are a fucking life saver man. I didn’t have to remove the bumper like you did in the video but I got everything like you showed. Thank you!
Great video. I have all this done but for the love of me I can not get the two bottom bolts on my alternator to break loose. The top one came out easy.
If you lower subframe about an inch at the front you can remove it through bottom, i think it is easier that way. Keep those wrenches spinnin
More wrenching to come
Thanks for the video brother! I’m going to change my sons alternator today. Now I know what tools I need. Appreciate you!
No probs man, glad I can help a bro out 🙏🏻... More diy content coming soon
Appreciate the visuals. I just popped mine out within an hour. Cheers!
Not a problem man. You're quick! Congrats
Never Stop Wrenching
Thanks I’m using this video to do ac compressor and ima sub good video man
BTW you can totally get the alternator out to the left of the A/C line, without having to remove the fan. Just use a different hood prop.
Thanks brother
Good job , well explained, in clear voice.
I just smacked the fuck out of that like button✋
Amazing, Thanks man!!
Haha love it. I am going to lubricate my ac and radiator fans while I do this. I forgot if I needed to do the tensioner removal phew...
Need to do this, thanks bro
I use my milwalkee electrical ratchet wrench to get on those lower bolts
Great DIY video
Good video !! I have do this soon!
Do ac compressor. This video helped bro
08 si is showing signs of a weak battery, hoping it’s not the alternator but ima test both tomorrow with my multimeter.. this video def helped If I do gotta replace
Hope it helps
As described in my honda civic 8th generation haynes manual,came here to see if the job was beyond me -and it is!
Brilliant video,are most cars this difficult to access the alternator?
I have faith that you can perform his job bro. Believe it or not, civics are one of the easier cars to work on, but I’m sure there’s cars where the alternator is in a crappy place
FG2 Problems man. No space at all
The one thing i hate about the 8th gens
Great video bro, can't wait for the a.c. video, mines been out for way too long
Should be up Sunday morning ;)
thanks brother
Tank you
you don't have to go to the dealer to get your radio code you can just look up "honda radio code" on google and it'll be one of the first links my Si doesn't have a sticker on the glovebox just a heads up nice vid!
Thanks man, more to come!
Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for watching!
seems pretty similar to my k20a3. thanks. im gonna paint that metal piece under the top cover..
Glad i could help you out bro
The winding noise can be the ac clutch... They mess up. I have the same noise and ac clutch going weak.
never thought this gonna be a lot of work to do for u to remove that alternator lol
Good job dude... I did it exactly the same way...
Thanks bro
do o have to really take bumper off
Great Video bro
Neftali Rivera thanks for the support bro 🙏🏼
much appreciated my dude
Much appreciated support 🙏🏼
I wantes to know if the alternator from the si civic fit in the lx looks the same just wanted to know because the si one is 105amps and the lx is 80amps
What amp is the alternator??
I saw a notice, but haven't found the video yet. I heard that Midnight died. :( :( RIP midnight.
Thanks! decided this job is beyond me though. :)
You got this! It’s easy, trust me
Hey man, THANKS SO MUCH FOR DONG THIS VIDEO! It looks like a whole lot of pain to do but now with this video, I have an idea of what I need to do. What brand of alternator do you recommend?
You're very welcome. That's exactly why i made it. Denso all the way, even though i cheated out lol
replaced everything last week on mine still waiting to do the waterpump when warms up autozones did not fit oreilys got theirs it is oem
Nice! What mileage are you at?
saved me $250 thanks!
Glad I could help you out bro!
if ur just removing the alternator, u can leave the serpentine belt on everything else
That throttle body did you put on
It’s just an oem TB
Ac compressor video!!!!!!
Coming Sunday, stay tuned
I was about lower my fa5 tomorrow now I came across this smh
Dude u saved me on the clutch so I’m back, got a whiney noise ... told it could be the serpentine belt or alternator. Mechanic put on wd40 on the tensioner and it reduced the noise but still there faintly. Any suggestions ??!
Start small bro, replace the idler tensioner, see if that makes a difference. You could take the alternator off and get it tested to be safe, but just because it reads good for voltage, doesn't mean that it is 100% good. I believe there is bearings inside the alternator that fail. You can stick a long screwdriver against each mechanism and listen for noise. My vote is the AC compressor. Our cars are known for them to fail frequently.
👍
what was the sound you heard to replace it? can you include that or send me another video?
It almost sounded like a whining supercharger. Car also had issues with idle and stalling
Hey, I got some weird problems on my si 07, while driving the radio just turn off one second and restart like I just open the accessories.. so i test my battery with an multimeter to see if the alternator still charging it and it goes to 14.3v with no accessories and 14.1v with all accessories to 13v when the cooling fan goes on. The radio also close while i'm not driving and the cooling fan kicks in. Now, two days ago I can hear kind of whistle sound from the interior of the vehicule when all the engine is hot and i'm not driving it. Can it be the alternator ?
Could be an alternator or ac compressor.
Do you have aftermarket radio? If so recheck wiring. If it’s a whining sound from speakers you have a grounding issue.
bro did I have a whine sound and burn smell mine did that and it just gave out whole car just off got battery light on b4 it gave completely out and when I would hit gas it would go off but idk
My issue was my ac compressor bro, it caused my car to stall and stuff. Get your alternator & battery tested
Is this the same for an automatic EX? Just making sure😬
Similar with some steps... Don't know if they're in the same locations or not
Are you going to replace both ac and alternator?
You will see ;)
what's the part # for alternator?
Not 100% sure
Shoot noise gone after no belt I knew it. Alternator pully did not hear any noise.
Found the problem... You will see ;)
Gerb Productions, I did not get the 2010 Coupe priced too high for condition it was in. Kind of want my 4 door again.
+Adam Woltz I want a four door as well 🤔
Where's your front bumper at??
idk, somewhere in the yard lol
Gerb Productions nice lol. Waiting up on the new one?
+Carlos Gomez Haven't decided if I'm going to get a new one yet... found my quick connects, might install those 👍🏼
You don’t need to get the bumper off
I just love to do extra work lol
Deck, this is a bizzznitch 😭😭😭
i change my alternator on my 09 civic si and the alternator is still not charging the battery any ideas what can it be if so please let me know any help its greatly appreciated it plus I have a alpine nav system and it wont turn on at all
Will the car start? It could be the battery itself.
The battery its kind of low but i took it to advance and they recharge it and supposedly it good now it doesn’t pass the 11.5 volt tho i took the alternator off today againg ama take it to see if they can check it to see if its good or nah idek wat else to do anymore.
Lmk how you make out... pretty sure you want your whole charging system, alternator and battery to be 14 bolts.
@@fisherofsouls8634 what ended up being your issue ?
First mistake I saw you make was the plastic clips you need the Lisle clip remover tool to preserve those clips so that you don't have to buy more. You also need a belt removal too hft 20 bucks goes a long way
