REMAN ALTERNATOR

The alternator on your Saab is an electrical generator used to charge your vehicle’s battery and power your vehicle’s electrical components. As the alternator spins, an electromagnetic coil rotor spins creating an electromagnetic field and allowing the stator to generate an alternating electrical current. The alternating current is converted by a rectifier regulator into a direct current that can be used by your vehicle. A faulty alternator will either not produce any electricity or will not produce enough electricity to power your Saab or charge the battery. Signs of a Faulty Saab Alternator: A dead battery after driving, surging lights or other electrical systems surging from a lack of electricity, a whining from the alternator when the engine is running, illumination of the battery warning light in conjunction with the brake warning light to indicate the alternator is not producing electricity. Replacement of your Saab alternator should only occur if the alternator has failed or is damaged in any way. The location of the alternator will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but it is almost always mounted near the front of the engine and driven by a serpentine belt attached to the engine crankshaft. Because of the varying locations, replacement of the alternator can take anywhere from 30 minutes on vehicles with the alternator mounted openly to several hours for alternators mounted deep inside the engine bay. Bosch is the world's largest supplier of components to the automotive industry. The Bosch product line includes alternators & starters, brakes, electronic controls and sensors, fuel system parts and management, ignition system components, and steering system components. All Bosch automotive parts are either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or made to their specs as a replacement part for the OEM unit. Left = Driver side and Right = Passenger side. All parts are priced individually unless identified as a set or kit. "Per car" notes identify how many of a given part your car has and "Left/Right or Front/Rear" notes means the part fits the left or right side of the car. These parts are still sold individually and you'll need to select the appropriate quantity if you plan to replace more than one of this item.
