- In this video i troubleshoot and replace my alternator in my ford focus 2002 1.8tdci dirty deisel,
Silver Calcium!! is the type of car battery they suggest to use, i have always just used generic lead acid batteries on the focus, the alternator has died as the bushes had worn out,
What a ball ache, was scratching my head until I found this video.
Well done. Thankyou!
Yep its a pain to do, i vividly still remember it 🤣
Bit late to the party but wanted to thank you for taking the time to make the video. I need to replace the alternator shaft + pulley ("coupler") and wasn't really sure how to do it; I was after your video. Cheers!
Well done mate, nice to know there are other sensible blokes driving round in 1/4 million mile Focus's (or is it foci) and keeping them on the road.
Hi, very good video tutorial, very clear and complete, today the alternator of my
Ford Focus TDI 2004 stopped working and your video has made me very
clear how I should get it out, now I just have to gather the courage and
courage to do it lol ..
Greetings from Mar del Plata, Argentina
Very glad its helped you out! good luck :)
Hola. Amigos
Lastima que esta todo en Ingles pero una imagen vale mas que mil palabras.
Muy bien chaval que muchos se piensan que sacar ese alternador es un momento..
Mañana tengo que desmontar uno y creo que si todo va bien tardare entre desmontar y montar mas la carga del Aire 6 horas y 650€ la tontería.
Un saludo.
thanks for the video mate, nice to see what's involved from the comfort of my armchair before I get stuck in !
Its a bit more effort than most alternator changes... Good luck 👍
Thanks for the video mate. Makes it nice and straight forwards just what to do.
Thanks for the informative video. Really helped me take off my alternator without any dramas.
Good video, thanks for the info.
Very helpful, thanks for taking the time to film it and put it on here.
ALTERNATOR is the weakest and most expensive car generator, made only to oppose the high mechanical resistance it takes from the engine, which translates into fuel consumption. The stator winding is made in such a way as to output three-phase current on which a Expensive and bad diode bridge rectifies it by making it direct current. The efficiency of this shift is of maximum 53%. It consumes a lot, it produces little and it has many expensive components that go quickly to make the drivers for sale. This mess was made especially in the purpose of consuming more gasoline and to sell components that you do not find in the old dynamos. On this site you will find videos showing the old dynamos, used now in some countries, which had a dual role: starter and after it started the engine became a generator. The mechanical force it consumes from the engine was small, it was robust, without straightening axles and it burned hard. dynamo if instead of the aluminum housing in which the bendix is located, a bearing cap is mounted in which to enter the rotor shaft. The stator coil must be decoupled from coal and coupled separately to become excitation coils controlled with the load relay. the rotor, the starter spins.If the sprocket of the bendix is fixed on the shaft not to slip, then it will always remain on the crown of the flywheel, and after the engine has started the sprocket takes over the movement of the motor and reverses the rotor that will produce current by charging the battery. some old model cars, this was done with a transmission belt that came on the flywheel and on the starter - generator.With a single good, robust, reliable and high efficiency device, two maneuvers were performed. Now there are two components that do the same. maneuvers but with higher costs. Question: why? I wrote above. You can find other hidden motivations. Success.
Thanks mate!
Awesome! thanks this worked for me and save me a fortune!
Great video, thanks. Very clear ... hope to have the same success this week end.
Thanks for your time very very good video.
Super video bro. Thank u.
Good job mate thanks Andrzej
Also, I did mine all from underneath so no need to remove the intercooler etc
Thanks for video
HAVE mk2 focus 1.8tdci mine was clutch pulley . basically the pulley on end alternator the belt goes on is also clutch they can slip £30 euro need spechial tool fit them 2007 now got 142.000 on clock had mk1 1.8tdci 2001 rot got it 2017 170.000 on clock was 16 yrs old . b4 that had 1992 1.8 non turbo power steering orion no ecu on that good old mechanical fuel pump died 2007 dreaded rot again floor pan seals ex taxi 260.000 on clock 1992 model 15 yrs old
Unfortunately i scrapped the car after a bird decided to go through the windscreen so i never got the chance to see how many miles the focus would go before the engine itself gave up
Grazie molto chiaro
very good video.thanks
Hi, were is the intercooler?
Hi, The intercooler is normally mounted on top of the engine, i have put my intercooler in the bumper so it gets direct airflow... this is why you dont see it in the video, cheers

Is there any difference in the good?
no performance gains other then sitting in traffic the intercooler now does not get heat soaked by the engine and also its out of the way if you want to work on or around the engine. i had an intercooler laying around so i just put it on really
Brilliant video copied all that you did and car now who needs a garage
