Product Information

150 amp remanufactured alternator, water cooled alternator, includes seal

If your BMW is running out of power (literally) it's likely due to a worn or damaged alternator. The battery on board the car stores enough power to start the car while the alternator is responsible for powering the car while its running as well as maintaining the battery charge. If the alternator is not charging the battery you will run out of power since the battery alone can't support all of your BMW's functions.

A rebuilt/remanufactured unit from is basically a brand new alternator. The only part used from the original unit in normally the metal cage. All internals and electrical parts are replaced with new factory parts. It will perform the same as the original equipment part did. We often find that OEM remanufactured parts last longer as upgraded/newly designed components are used in place of original parts. Think of the core core charge as link a bottle deposit. It's a fee that the manufacturer charges for ensuring that a core is returned. Once FCP receives the core back to our facility we will refund you for the core charge in full.

Comes with alternator seal, p/n 12317507996 alternator seal

Alternator

If your car is running out of power (literally) it's likely due to a worn or failing alternator. Your vehicles car battery is responsible for storing enough energy to start the car while the alternator powers all the vehicles systems with the engine running while maintaining a battery charge. If your car dies while driving and the battery has little to no charge it's most likely due to a failed or failing alternator. Before condemning an alternator you can perform a simple test with a DVOM (digital volt meter). Also make sure the belt which drives the alternator is properly tensioned as well.

Alternator Failure Symptoms
  • Battery drains while car is running
  • Low voltage generated while car is running
  • Dim or flickering headlights
  • Dim or flickering interior lights
  • Electrical systems such as the radio, power windows, sunroof do not function

BMW 740i Sport
20 year old alternator was showing signs of wear (dipping below 12). Very happy with the quality of this remanufactured Bosch alternator.

First unit faulty, 2nd one works well
The first alternator I received was faulty, but that wasn't FCP's fault. The 2nd alt is so far so good. The refund for the initial unit was well handled. Thanks!

Make sure you get OEM components for your charging system. I went through one bad Alternator before getting this one. Works like a charm

Question Posted by a customer
I recently purchased a water-cooled alternator, but I have looked everywhere, including the Bentley Service Manual, and I cannot find the torque specification for the (6) 10 mm bolts securing the alternator to the engine block. I would really appreciate i
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Unfortunately, the exact torque specs are not listed in BMW's ISTA database. The bolts themselves are an M6x35mm which is the measurement of the thread size and thread length. Per BMW's maximum tightening torques database for hardware a 6mm grade 8.8 bolt is torques to 8Nm while a grade 10.9 bolt is torqued to 12Nm. The grade rating should be marked on the head of the bolt.
