Alternator Replacement on Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Alternator

Let's look at the alternator replacement on a Fiat Punto. Pull the lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the bonnet, securing it. Locate the battery and disconnect the terminals. Unscrew the bolts with a socket wrench, being careful not to damage the wiring harness membranes, and unscrew all the securing bolts of the alternator. Once disassembly is complete, extract it from the engine bay. Now take the new replacement part and insert it into the appropriate housing, screw in the securing bolts, then tighten the side bolts of the alternator. Check the correct voltage with a tester by connecting it to the battery.
