My_XR6_Turbo Member 282 Member For: 20y 3m 23d Posted 14/02/10 04:37 AM Share Posted 14/02/10 04:37 AM After 4 weeks of trying to fix the alternator wine I finally did it.What I ended up doing was the following:Removed the battery and all the turbo plumbing to get to the alternator.I mounted the engine earth strap and the battery earth to the same point on the body and gave the area a good clean. (They were mounted about 3” apart.) I then ran a new earth from where the alternator bolts to the bracket to the battery.And presto no more wine.Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

It would be a long run and that can cause noise induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
