Alternators?!
I am now on my third alternator, second in four months. I understand they do not make new alternators for our SVXs. I asked a master Subaru tech if there were any alternators from other cars that fit the SVX and he said he had no idea. Is there a reliable way to fix a problem like this, where the refurbished alternators fail? Are there any crossover alternators?
Could bad wires of some sort cause a new alternator to fail? How would I check?

Re: Alternators?!
My AC Delco reman is also lifetime warranteed. Spend a few extra dollars now, and don't worry about having to spend them later.

Re: Alternators?!
Thanks, I was completely relaying on this tech for info on this and he apparently had no clue.
Thanks again.

Re: Alternators?!
I'd be extremely surprised if any "new" aftermarket alternator for the SVX isn't actually a reman.

Re: Alternators?!
Bring your car to a PEP BOYS or AUTO ZONE for a battery and alternator test.
