Damn!

I replaced alternator about 4-5 months ago, I replaced 3 of them in 2 days.

And now I had to replace bearings in the alternator because stupid mechanic didn't tight properly bolts that hold the alt. So alt was moving abit and bearings went bad. DAMN!!! MORONS!!!

Also hole that holds the bolt for alt is a bit woren. To fix it I need to remove oil pump! DUH!!!! @#$%^&*

but 3 in 2 days is just rediculous.

yep, 3 times voltage regulator went bad (1 on my old alt and 2 times on new alts).

And the most shitty thing that alt gave about 13V, so it was enough for the bulb (indicator) to not come on. So 2 times I had to tie my car. The other one I recharged the battery.
