Thread: How Many Hours to Remove an 2014 TDV6 Alternator

The 220A 4.4TDV8 alternator can be fitted if a little material is removed from the mounting bracket to accommodate the slightly larger alternator and the 4.4's fixed pulley is swapped for the 3.0's free-wheeling pulley.

Unfortunately no rating on the label only the Part No. As previously mentioned, subject is a can of worms and seems there are a lot of variations between years of build and engine fitted.

I see you had same issue. My problem is I can't see the broken wire now somewhere in the void where alternator was any ideas ?

The wire will have recoiled back into the void as it would have been under tension when it severed. I cannot remember how this wire was routed, get your phone into the void on video and you should reveal where its hiding. Repairing the termination into the alternator plug I suggest you solder on a "fly Lead" to make reconnection easier.
