Question 1

How to replace the alternator in a V6 engine on Buick LaCrosse?

Accepted Answer

Commencing v6 engine generator installation requires technicians to disconnect the negative Battery Cable first. Reposition the positive Battery Cable boot at its terminal on the generator while disconnecting the engine harness electrical connector on the generator. Unscrew the generator's positive Battery Cable nut before removing the positive Battery Cable terminal from the generator's core. Start by removing the Drive Belt then remove the idler pulley bolt together with the idler pulley. Next remove the generator bolts then carefully extract the generator from the vehicle. Start by placing the generator at its engine location then install generator bolts in a loose fashion. Follow all fastener caution information before installing the idler pulley. Apply 50-nm torque (37 lb ft) to the generator bolts before setting the Drive Belt into place. Start by connecting the engine harness electrical connector to the generator then install the positive Battery Cable terminal, before tightening the nut to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Move the positive Battery Cable boot onto the generator terminal before connecting the negative Battery Cable.

Question 2

How to Perform an Alternator Replacement on a Buick Enclave?

Accepted Answer

To replace the generator begin by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable before you take off the Drive Belt along with the fuel injector sight shield and engine mount strut bracket and the a/c line clamp bolt which attaches to the upper radiator support. Start by removing coolant recovery reservoir bolts and reservoir tabs from upper radiator support before repositioning them out of the way. Begin by moving the battery positive junction block cable boot to a different position then uninstall the generator cable to battery positive junction block terminal and its attachment nut at the generator stud. You must first disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the generator and pull the power steering reservoir inlet hose clip out of its bracket holding the power steering fluid reservoir hose clip before loosing the idler pulley bolt to move the pulley as far away from the engine as possible. To remove the generator uses three parts of operation: removing bolts from the generator then separating the generator from the a/c compressor and power steering reservoir clip bracket followed by generator and power steering pulley removal from the vehicle. Start by securing the idler pulley to the generator then install this unit along with its pulley directly into your vehicle. Secure the power steering fluid reservoir hose clip bracket to the first generator bolt before tightening it then attach the a/c compressor/evaporator hose bracket to the second generator bolt with a finger tighten torque. Begin generator and idler pulley bolt tightening by applying 50 n.m (37 lb ft) torque while first torquing the idler pulley bolt followed by the generator bolts. After connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the generator you must install the battery positive junction block cable terminal to the generator stud before securing the battery positive junction block cable to generator nut with a torque setting of 22 n.m (16 lb ft). Put the battery positive junction block cable boot over the stud, insert the coolant recovery reservoir tabs into upper radiator support slots, and tighten the bolts to 5 n.m (44 lb in). Install the upper radiator support a/c liquid line clamp bolt receiving 9 n.m (80 lb in) torque followed by the engine mount strut bracket and fuel injector sight shield maintenance before adding the Drive Belt and negative Battery Cable reinstallation.

Question 3

How to replace the Delphi CS130D alternator on Buick Regal?

Accepted Answer

The replacement process of the delphi cs130d generator begins with battery negative cable disconnection followed by Drive Belt removal from the generator. The generator rear brace needs to be removed first before you disconnect the electrical connector after removing the bolts (1,3) and stud from the generator. Move the protective boot away from the bat terminal on the generator output for access and after loosening the generator output bat terminal nut you should disconnect the positive lead before you can remove the generator itself. Start the installation process by placing the generator near the engine then secure the positive lead and generator output bat terminal nut with torque turning to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Press the protection boot onto the generator bat terminal before attaching the electrical connector. Tighten bolts (1,3) on generator bracket only after starting the stud with fingers. Follow a specified torque protocol for these following steps of installation. Tightening operations start with the 50 n.m (37 lb ft) torque on the generator bolt followed by the generator stud reaching 50 n.m (37 lb ft) torque before finishing with a 50 n.m (37 lb ft) torque on the generator rear bracket bolt. Next install the generator rear brace before reinstalling the Drive Belt and reconnecting the battery negative cable.
