Need help!! Car broke down during road trip

[leafsrule531]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their invaluable help and almost instantaneous responses as soon as my car broke down. It was a really stressful scenario since I was in a different country and no tools on me. I truly cannot thank this community enough for their support.

It ended up being the alternator. I didn’t want to go this route but I was able to get the alternator remanufactured and it works perfect now. I read a lot about how lot of these places will use cheap Chinese parts and the alternator wouldn’t last more than 15k miles which is fine. I paid $150 cad to get it remanufactured and borrowed my friend tools to put it in.

Once I get back to US - I look into putting a new one in from fcp. Unfortunately it’s pretty pricey at $600 since I have the 4 zone climate control but I’ll cross that bridge later.

Thank you everyone again!! Really appreciate it.
