- It finally happened! The Lexus almost left me stranded!
Pulling into the neighborhood the battery light flashed on the dash and I lost power steering!
I did the quick fix and had put a new battery in the car right before I went out of town. I get back and completely forgot I had an issue prior to my work trip!
I tested the alternator output right at the alternator and it was intermittently putting out 8 volts. Alternator left the chat.
I know my how to's are a bit long winded and lengthy. If you don't like me goofing off and having a bit of banter with you guys, just fast forward past the funny bits!
Great video! I watched five or six for my 2008 RX350 and this video by far is the most thurough. I thought I was going to have to re-watch a video about replacing the water pump to get down to the alternator, but your video got me there much quicker. I did replace the water pump any you don't ever want to do that. Thanks for the time you put into this!!
My pleasure, I'm glad I could help!
Nice clear video, you showed a few important things that some videos didn't cover, I'm glad you took the detailed time. thanks a bunch !
You're very welcome!
Seriously you make this so very clear! I’m going to do it!!
This is awesome! Thank you!
Hey brother, awesome video and i appreciate you taking the time to make it, next time youre up at the tool store get you a pair of the hose clamp relase pliers, theyre like 25.00 and they make the hose clamp you were fighting an absolute breeze, they lock into the tops and never slip off!
Funny enough, I now have a pair from Snap On!
Very good guidance. That last bolt is almost impossible to find without some to show you, a scope or a good manual.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
"now carefully put this to the side"
proceeds to throw item
I was hoping someone would catch that! Lol
Hey, is this your personal car? If so, did you replaced the engine coolant pipe? It’s a rubber hose that is notorious for breaking. They did a recall to replace it to metal. It’ll gush out oil when the rubber breaks!
I believe the recall was already done as I did not see the rubber pipe. It was metal.
got my third alternator at 225k miles on my 2007 rx350 , the second one lasted 80k and original one lasted 145k . thoughts ?
What brand was the second alternator? New or reman? I would only trust a new or reman Denso brand, the original equipment supplier for Toyota. I used to trust Bosch, but I recently installed a defective Bosch reman starter in a Honda Accord. My 2008 RX350 appears to be on the verge of needing its first alternator replacement at 135k.
So I'm kinda confused on the bottom bolt. It doesn't have to be removed? It kinda seems like it does or why put it there?
Yes the bottom bolt comes out enough to get the alternator out!
Which alternator brands are good in general & especially for Lexus?
I have a 2010 Lexus RX350
Denso is your best bet - it is the factory supplier.
@@thardyryll Awesome brother. Thank you
What amperage Alternator? 100 or 130?
I think the one in my vehicle was a 130 amp
Same alternator for 2008 to 2015?
Depends on the amperage output on your specific model
@@excelsiorautoservices thank you, you are right I learned the wrong way. I installed one with higher amperage and it cost me a belt also. We are good now 350$ alternator and belt parts
How many miles on your car before alternator goes bad?
My car has roughly 150k miles
Just paid to have my 2011 done at 94,000. $1465.
