940 tdi alternator seized
 

hi all
is it worth trying to repair my seized alternator lucky i had a spare one in shed so im back on the road now .
regards jim

Most likely it’s a bad bearing. If the case didn’t get damaged it would be easy to repair. It would be a good time to replace both bearings.

Taking the alternator to a repair centre that specialises in starter motor and alternator repairs may be the most economical solution.
