A bigger Alternator in 123 car, anyone done this?
 

I'm looking to put in a more powerful alternator in my 123 wagon, as anyone done this?

My alternator is about to go. I can hear the berring starting to scream, and I figured if I had to replace it, I might as well upgrade it if I can...

Thanks Jason

Someone did a Volvo alternator in the last year if memory serves me right.

I suggest using the search feature on that subject
And see:

OK, SAAB not Volvo, but that was the thread I meant.

Alright!
 

Good, I'll need the extra amps for the euro lights and new stereo!!

:D

I did do search, but I missed that...

I'm glad you mentioned that today. My alternator is acting up again and I might need a new one. I had totally forgotten about that thread before you mentioned it.

A good auto electric shop can rebuild your alternator and rewire to substantially increase output. Might be cheaper than a new one.
