New alternator

robv70rdesign · Jul 2nd, 2024, 20:32

Hi all
Alternator seized up, snapped drice belts and the spring on the tensioner. All replaced with a Lucy's alternator and gates tensioner and belt. Took car for a spin, all ok untill reset windows, now dtsc service required, engine service required. Reset coded on vida and no different.
Any ideas?
Thanks
2012 v70 d2.

Needs a code read with VIDA. Guesswork otherwise.

Just read original post..
Drive belt snapped, alternator seized, tensioner sping snapped. Drove about 5mins to get it home.
Replaced alternator, belt and tensioner. Lucas alternator 14v 180a. Gates tensioner and belt.
Took for a spin and all ok for 5mins or so. Now won't run. Pic above is the codes off vida.

Are those fresh codes? So clear them and that's what comes back?

If so, it looks like injector issues on all cylinders.

New ones are expensive, so you may need to get refurbished ones (cheaper option). They need to be coded to the car.

Those codes what has returned after you cleared them?

You say it won’t run, does it turn over?

robv70rdesign · Jul 2nd, 2024, 21:32

These are the new codes its just given. Won't start. Cranks over now but that's it. Just had to push it to somewhere safe. Forgot how heavy these things are....

I think its injectors.

The ECM is calling for fuel, the injectors can't deliver the amount of fuel required, so its throwing codes and now won't start.

I'm probably wrong as far from an expert with vida but I understood you should clear stored codes and then read current codes on the delivery tab?

I'd wonder if some cabling has been disturbed around the ecm while removing alternator which then came undone during short test drive?

Just checked that image. That code scan was a month ago. That info isn't up-to-date...

Rescan the car, then post an image. When you scan it again, it'll probably ask you do you want to keep the old codes or start again. Press "update"... that'll give you the codes as of when you scan it, not old ones.
