Recharging

Recharging

1. Checking insulation of stator windings: - place the probes of an ohmmeter (set on a scale of Ω x 1) in contact with the windings and the stator casing; - the reading on the instrument should be infinite resistance, if this is not the case replace the rotor. 2. Checking continuity of stator windings: - place the probes of an ohmmeter (set on a scale of Ω x 1) in contact with the stator windings (1-2), (3-4), (5-6); - for each measurement there should be a certain resistance reading on the instrument.

If the resistance value does not move from the start of the scale (infinite resistance) or reaches the end of the scale (nil resistance) then this means that the phase being measured is broken or short circuited and that the stator must be replaced.

MARELLI A115I 14V 40/75A ALTERNATOR

(versions with 1580 16V; 1747 16V engines)

Removing-refitting (1580 16V version)

Position the vehicle on a lift and remove the right wheel. 3. Undo the upper bolt fixing the alternator. 4. Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel arch liner after having undone the fixing bolts.
