Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to solve an emergency situation that may arise (perhaps during a weekend) due to a faulty alternator, with the need to still use the car. The youtuber removed the alternator from his Fiat Punto (but of course the system is valid for all cars).

We can see that the contact part of the carbon brushes is worn out; he removed them with a drill and gave them the shape needed to fit into the component and put them back in place.

Of course, some mechanical knowledge and manual skills are necessary, but in the end the desired result is achieved. The car starts and the battery light turns off.
