Review on DB Electrical Volvo Alternator - S40, S60, S80, V40, V70 / Volvo Penta D3 Engines - High Quality Replacement Alternator by Daniel Warren

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Larger than stated

Addendum says it is a 140 amp alternator. However what I received was 160 amp. This in itself is not a problem (you can swap a 140 amp alternator for a heavy duty alternator ). One problem was that the 160A was physically larger. This made fitting a bit more difficult, but it also seemed to change the position of the pulley as it was almost impossible to fit a same size V-ribbed belt. Please note that replacing the V-ribbed belt on the old alternator was never a problem. Now that the belt is in place the alternator works perfectly and has been running for a few months now.

Pros
  • Alternators and alternators
Cons
  • Weight
