Car - Peugeot 306 D Turbo HDI.

Hello there,

The alternator has failed on my car and my father and I are having great difficulty in
accessing a particular bolt. The belt has been removed.

The said bolt is hard up against the tensioner pulley. We are managing to spring the tensioner as far back as we can but still having serous problems.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Gary.

Can you clarify? Is it the big bolt through the alternator - the pivot? Or the smaller one - the position lock? Is the bolt seized or just to big to be removed?

My alternator has a slot in the back you fully rotate the alternator revealing the slot yours too?

After spending an age replacing the alternator and battery, got connected back up and battery light remained on.
A friend told me that a common problem is for the relay which is situated next to the rear wiper motor to become damp and cause the battery light to illuminate.
The said relay was removed and was full of water. After being taken apart, dried, cleaned and put back together, problem solved!!
On my friends advice either end of the wiper motor spindle has been siliconed and the affected relay placed in a small food bag and sealed with a tie wrap.

If your battery light illuminates on one of these, investigate this possible cause first before expensive outlays.
