    dude i fixed a couple of alternators in my time and never had
    problems yet . take the regulator out and see what the problem
    is . if its the carbon brushes i can supply new ones for you to fit
    or send the reg to me and i will replace them for you .

    if its the slip rings worn to death ,its a bit more costly but
    still worth a shot .

    unfortunately sometimes OEM is the only option.... I didn't pay much different for my Renault one vs. one from GSF or Euro Car Parts.

    WTF!? Gone already?? Get on the blower or recon it yourself as it should be good when it works being 90 amp.

    Are you sure that is the problem. Either unlucky or another problem is evident.
