Replacing Alternator and battery life without.
Hey guys,
My 206's alternator is dead, I managed to make it home thanks to the RAC (worth every penny) and now I have to replace the thing, so I've bought this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT-206-1-...item53da2ba250 and got a nice fully charged battery in the car for now, basically I was wondering: A) Is replacing an alternator a straightforward job? Is it something I could do myself? Do you have an links explaining how? B) Can you give me a ballpark figure for the labour costs to replace it? In the UK. C) How long will the battery last (rougly) if I make sure to turn off all the unnessessary electrical things in the car. Ideally I need to get to and from work (20 mins each way) until my new alternator arrives... Thanks for any help you can give me guys. |

Re: Replacing Alternator and battery life without.
Is it easy well that depends on your competency with the spanners. The book time is depending on your model is based on a 2001 1.4 litre with air con is 1.3hours. this will be less without aircon (1.1hours). So a garage depending on where you take it too should base their price on that. Your average small garage should be somewhere in the region of £30-£50 per hour.
How long will your battery last entirely depends on the condition of the battery. |
