Alternator Issue on a Saab in Northern VA - Ianumunro - 08-14-2015
Hey everybody, my alternator has been the weakest link of my car for awhile. One of my very mechanically inclined friednds offered to help me so I bought a 300$ alt from Olympus. And since I went to Yurrup this summer for study abroad and he is now in FL to see his grandparents and bring back up his Polara, I was wondering if anyone could help or provide equipment to replace the alternator. Here is a guide that I need to follow,

but I am still very much an automotive lightweight and any one-on-one help or equipment would be a massive help.
I live in Alexandria city, but Fairfax county.
Thanks for your time everybody

I'm in Alexandria, over by Landmark Mall. Will be working on the BMWs on Sunday if you want to come by and take up part of my driveway. I may even supply some beer.

Let me know if you are going to take Jake up on that offer. I'll be willing to make the trip from Winchester to offer assistance.

Time?
Re: Alternator Issue on a Saab in Northern VA - Jake - 08-15-2015
10ish. Beer will be cold and I will be passing tools around and trying to diagnose why my stupid M3 keeps blowing fuses and losing the brake lights when I hit the pedal. Wiring, yey.
Jason, PM me if you want to come up and I'll shoot you the address. Parking is limited but we can make it work.

Coffee is hot, garage is being shuffled around to fit a Saab in it now.
I guess I should put pants on soon.
