2002 Cross Country V70 - Alternator question
Hi All,
I have a 2002 Cross Country V70 petrol. It is the turbo engine. I have a rattley alternator. I am not sure whether it is bearings or the pulley. I have seen that the pulley can be replaced however that was on a Diesel engine. Pulling theses things out can be a cow of a job and one that I am not looking forward to so any suggestions re pulleys would be appreciated |

You can remove the alternator this way https://youtu.be/zlp6qvYBJMU Be sure to inspect all other pulleys while there .

How many miles are on your 2002?
My '02's regulator went out at ~185K. I skipped R&Ring the regulator. A starter / alternator shop near me rebuilt it. Removing your turbo boost pipe is the only added step over a non-turbo. I don't think it's a cow nor pig of a job. Identify the rebuilder good garages use and just bring it to them. The freewheel removal tool is simple and affordable but all that static bending in a confined space whilst trying to muscle unfamiliar hardware just to change the pulley would be a bear. While it's easier to do on a bench, it's still a very awkward job without hold-down jigs etc. You're much better served by a quality rebuild. You get new everything. |

Hi and thank you for the responses.
When the car starts, there is a rattle from the alternator. It is more or less continuous then as the car warms up it becomes less pronounced - rattle for a second then stop, then rattle for a second or two then stop. It rattles when the accelerator is applied, then stops. The car has done 172,000 kilometres so I dont think it should have given up the ghost just yet. Unfortunately it is going to be difficult job because I cannot feel let alone see the rear clamp on the turbo. And some bright spark has tightened the front clamp on the so that I may have to take the radiator to undo it. I will need to buy a new alternator I suspect. At least that way it has a warranty and it will have a longer life. Agin that is for your help. |

Don't be too hasty...
I'll bet you a beer it's your alternator pulley.....it's cheap and easy to replace with a special tool even in the car but I would probably get a garage to do it....

Getting one.
Volvos of this vintage are a bit thin on the ground here in the Antipodes and so are spare parts at an affordable price. E.g. $48.00AUD for one brake calliper spring clip.
So getting a pulley may be tricky however I will look and see what I can find. If it is the pulley I will owe you a beer. |

if you go down the replacement alternator route, there were two different types on my 2000 p2 t5 -the wrong one will not fit down the gap the old one came out of :-( - don't ask me how I found out.
