[QUOTE=matto20v;789839]Have you checked the tension on the alternator belt? Is it tight? Is the belt still there??[/QUOTE]

Yeah they are both reasonably new, I installed them less than 10,000kms ago, they are good, I just got the car back from a service like 2 weeks ago aswell

Surely they would have checked them seeing as it was the big 150,000 service

Hey guys, finally got around to checking this thing out, opened up the alternator, the whole thing has been fried inside. Now this poses a question, since it has been fried, does anyone think that there could be a problem elsewhere, or are these things supposed to just burn out after some time lol?
