Pulled it out

Finally had some time to pull out my alternator.

It's a Valeo... so Ifar i want a bosch do I just change pulleys?
Or if I buy bosch and it comes with a pully do I need to change anything?
Buy new belts or anything?

Also thought it was weird that tensioner was a bolt not torx or allen

As long as the new pulley is the same (rib amount and diameter) it'll be fine.

Alright.

Well napa auto didn't have new alt. Only rmaf.

So ordered brand new duralast from autozone. I specified on new and they asked bosch or Valeo so I said Valeo.

New one is shipping from another storeason and I can pick it up tomarow.


Another question. My alternator exit hose wasn't connected to any hose to filter hot air away.

And the alternator I took out said 14v and the ones in all the stores say 12v....

I would bring in the original alternator to have it check so that you will know definitively if it was the alternator. You can replace the common wear item on a Valeo alternator for under $100 bucks (brush and regulator assembly).
