You can remove the alternator from the top side. Just remove the coolant overflow reservoir and that's as easy as it gets! Love your channel bro.
Don't fit...tried it, won't come out the back past the heat shield.
@@jamesrich8463what’s the solution?!😢
@@VibeASMR I think removing the axle method I saw in another video would be okay if your handy with working on cars. However my niece sold the car for parts It was old and a beater I wasn't going do all that work just to try get alternator in there. I'd find the video on here where they pull the axle off and do it if you want fix it yourself else I'd pay the $800 or whatever the shop wants to have them do it because if you fix it and the alternator goes bad you'll have to fix it again yourself. I had an alternator in my caravan go bad 2 months after I put it in and had to return it and get another and put it in...putting two in these PT cruiser would be a nightmare...unless you really like working on cars...Truth is if I owned a pt cruiser I'd pay the shop to do it...I wouldn't ever buy a pt cruiser though. PT cruiser is to small for my liking and poorly designed IMO.
Works with the turbo , surprisingly enough !!
Jimmy, you must have the patience of a saint. I think I would have had a melt down when the noise returned and was such a easy fix. Nonetheless, on the bright side of things, you have a brand new alternator and should never have to worry about that again!
😂 Thank you sir! The whole ordeal was just a little bit frustrating, but yknow what they say, "it is what it is"! Yeah, I'm glad it's replaced either way, I can't imagine that old one was going to last much longer anyways!
Nice work. That looks like a real pain in the butt! The hardest alternator I've ever changed was an 08 f350 with the 6.4L twin turbo powerstroke. It has to come out of the passenger's side wheelwell. I did that on the side of the freeway one day. The twin turbo makes for a very tight engine bay. Nothing like my old Silverado. Lol
Glad you got her changed so it's off your mind. I was thinking in the last video that it sounded like power steering pump whine but you definitely found the problem. If you left it alone, it would probably have self clearanced and stopped making noise. Lol
Have a great week, Jimmy.
It was a real pain, but it went a lot easier then last time! I can only imagine what it must be like to work around a huge twin turbo V8 diesel like that, even though the truck is big that's gotta take up some space lol! You're doing it right with the Silverado, working on this PTs makes my S10 seem like a piece of cake!
I'm glad it's changed too, I can't imagine the old one was going to last much longer. Probably that pulley would have eventually rubbed itself away some clearance anyways haha! I remember thinking it sounded just like a PS pump too, but I checked the fluid and looked it all over, everything was okay, and it seemed like the sound was coming from further back... safe to say an alternator right? NOT 😂 I ended up unbolting the cover, super-glueing a washer on the hole, and putting it back on... no more noise! Now time to give the S10 some time 😁😁
Eric Ernst Where is the Chrysler PT Cruiser Transmission Oil Cooler in a 2005
On this car???
RoadToProBoxing I just replied to your other comment.
RoadToProBoxing lol. I don't own one of these cars but if i had to guess, I'd say the trans cooler is in the radiator.
LATE UPLOAD! I'm sorry it took so long 😂 I had some issues with the edit, and thanks to my wonderful internet it took all day to upload! In conclusion I'd say it doesn't matter which way you decide to do this job, it always SUCKS! 😂 Stay tuned for some big changes to the channel soon.....
I know it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Luciano Xavier Try Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
STOPPPPPP!!! PLEASEEEE..To remove and replace the alternator in either versions of the PT Cruiser.. simply remove the coolant reservoir and fuel supply line from the firewall. The alternator comes right out the top!!
Do you know a good video showing this? My alternator which was replaced just over a year ago is going bad again, and can't afford a mechanic.
While replacing the return power steering hose I found that it had a restrictor placed in the hose right after coming out of the cooler. It is a round piece of metal 1 inch long with a 1/16 inch hole down the center. I only discovered it because a hose clamp wad places down stream of the clamp for the cooler so I cut the hose there after removing the clamp. You might want to tell your viewers about that so they don't just throw it away and then discover a steering problem.
Great update vid..nice work...Suggestion ...Day before...apply penetrating oil to all bolts/nuts you are going to remove...makes it easier to crack loose and remove them. Best to you and yours.
Doing my little sisters today. Thank you so much man!
My PT's previous owners services records showed that a chrysler specialized shop removed the drive shaft to do the alternator, Really glad he had it done because does not look fun!
Haha that's great! I don't think the previous owner did anything to mine unfortunately, but if so it's pretty much all done again anyways 😂 this job was a pain, but it could be a lot worse!
When I got my Cruiser in 2001 I had Firestone align it and got the lifetime alignment. I haven't paid for an alignment since so the expense up front was worth it. Pay a little more up front and save down the line.
The LOL is not a happy moment,but look at it this way you're good to go for a while and know what to
wiggle when your alternator makes noise again maybe? LMFAO...Thanks for the vid.
The one thing I wish everyone would do is somewhere in their videos tell what tools they used for each job. It could be before the video, during while working or after the video is complete as an add on.
To take out CV axle buy a pickle fork with 1 1/8 throat put it between transmission and female CV joint and tap gently with hammer ,CV axle will pop right out. Tried the pry bar method fu-- that. There are three different pickle forks, buy one you need or buy all three. Just sayin
Took the plunge and replaced the alternator on my wife's 07 PT Cruiser (non-turbo). I removed the mounting bracket but still couldn't get it out. Then I saw that the oil filter adapter was in the way and held in by 3 8mm bolts. Removed it and had lots of room to get it out. It still was a pain having to remove the caliper and CV axle.
It goes right out the top of the engine compartment by simply removing the coolant reservoir and fuel supply line. DONE.
Please. please. go take it from the top you have to take off to lines please
I remember doing MINE.. remove a few bolts and went right out. in and out in under 15 minutes
Yeah, I replaced one on my sister's 2004 Ford Taurus not too long ago, it was easily a 30 minute job. Sucks how tucked in it is on the PTs!
Must be like my vw. That doesn't look like fun either.
After realizing how cheap they are, I've about decided I want a manual PTGT for a daily driver. No way I'll be able to justify dailying my 00z28 to college, and they seem like kinda fun cars.
Awesome dude! It is a hella fun daily driver, if you can find one that's been taken good care of and has lowish miles, it would be perfect. My GT saw quite a bit of neglect in it's day, but she's coming together! I had an Instagram friend that had a 00z28 and a PT GT as well, he eventually sold the z28 because he couldn't keep both and it wasn't as daily-able as the GT 😂 welcome to the PT GT family soon hopefully!! Keep me posted ✌️
So you keeping the noise ?
sounds cool
😂😂 Ikr? It sounds like it's twincharged! Unfortunately, I fixed it with a washer earlier today. As neat as it may sound I don't want it to get caught in my timing belt haha
They really should have allowed more access to the engine. Chrysler.....
Its just a free supercharger bro, turbo+supercharger=12,000 Horsepower.
Hell yeah dude! Haters said it was an alternator but we all know it's really a procharger 😎😎😂😂😂
But did your battery indicator come on? Mine did. And makes the same noise.
My battery light never came on, I probably should have used that as a clue to keep investigating. I had a Taurus blow an alternator once and never had a bat light come on. But if your BL is on and it’s making a noise, that’s pretty much guaranteed to be your alternator!
I have a PT,, Highway water splashes up on the alternator and shorts it out... Bad design...
Chris, appreciate the video anyway even if you replaced a good alt w/a good alt. I'm about to replace my wffe's alt in her 07 base model PT today and not looking forward to it. Wondering why you didn't have the charging system tested prior to doing this job.
Because we need the videos coming
ok any advice would be greatly appreciated, my pt out of the blue just went ape crap, while driving the battery light came on, stereo went off, tac went way up and engine raced loud like being in neutral. error code was something like 0500 , freaked me out, then went back to normal,, little while later done it again and again, more gas i gave it, worse itd get you might have to just send me your alternator lol
You've done a timing belt change, right? If not you're in for quite a doozy
Oh yes I have 😂😂 to this day it's still the worst job I've ever tackled. If I ever have to do one again, I'll be tempted to drop the whole dang motor.
Less BS will shorten your videos and make them more interesting and helpful.
how long did it take to replace it
Olá pessoal! Eu só gostaria de saber se tem algum vídeo do PT CRUISER sobre defeitos e solução que não seja inglês e sim português?
My 2002 pt cruiser over heats when running the a/c. I've checked for electrical problems. Run it with only coolant. Any other suggestions as to why it is running so hot when the a/c is on in 106° Arizona whether?
The first thing that comes to my mind is the fan possibly not running and turning on like it should, but you said you checked for electrical problems so you might have already checked that? It could be as simple as the thermostat being stuck from opening all the way sometimes, causing it to warm up a little in the heat with the extra A/C strain. If you haven't already I'd just do a coolant flush, throw a new thermostat in it and see if that helps. Other than that I'm honestly not sure! 106 degree heat with the compressor on is a lot for the cooling system on any car haha. Good luck!!
Thank you replaced the thermostat. Runs in the Arizona summer heat with the a/c full blast!!.
I would say no one sane would do this method to get the alternator out, if your going do all that work you might as well pay someone to do it. I have to find one of the other methods, I tried the jam it up past the heat shield in back method would not fit even with the heat shield bent out of the way.
How do I know if I have cam bolts?
Any good HO alts you can reccomend I have a system I'm building
Eventually you are going to need to replace that baby anyway so its not a waste.
Yeah, I'm honestly very glad I got it done, I don't think that old one was going to last much longer
You can get the cv axle out by taking olny the tie rod and ball joint off
For me after 20 years (I have a 2001) I had to change my steering rack so with the rack and cross member (K frame) I dropped the alternator and replaced it with a new higher amp alternator since there were no restrictions after the cross member was taken out.
I think u need to.turn your rotors! Also u should probably invest in a torque wrench instead of just using an impact to rattle a spindle nut on! Im gonna have nightmares tonight.
💪🏽💪🏽
Man I want a pt cruiser gt
Dad Dad I have a pt gt convertible. Have change starter, fuel pump, power steering pump. Will need an alternator. For sale.
All that to change the alternator?! Lol
I put a starter in for no reason. A wire was overheating is all.
Lol!! You know the feeling! S
Actually i replaced it because a mechanic said the starter was shot. He wanted $500.00 to fix it so i spent $200.00 on a starter and fixed it myself. Got it done 2 days later it messed up. The wire is by the exaust so it was overheating the wire. I put a cooling gel on it and it's been fine for 2 years now.
I put a starter in a 77 camaro in a dark parking lot with only a pair of vise grips to realize it wasint the starter.. it was a seized engine. LOL
J, Williams LOL that's a bad day!!!
tim rickett Jeez, at least you saved yourself quite a bit of $ on the starter!
I hate these cars pain in the ass to work on wouldnt have another one if you gave me 20 of them for free
Don’t you hate when that happenes
😂😂😂 sure do
Channel C.G.E. I wish these little nuggets were a little easier to work on. As you can see from my channel, I have an 06 base model convertible. It is a stick. That thing is ridiculous to work on. Even the battery is underneath everything
Yeah haha, it is quite a pain to maneuver around the engine bay of these things. I’ve learned to work around it a little better now but it still throws curve balls at me all the time 😂 I’ll have to check out your channel!
Channel C.G.E. I warn you, it’s a little cringy
😂 I feel the same way about my videos too
Where is the Chrysler PT Cruiser automatic Transmission Oil Cooler in a 2005
On this car???
I just checked in the PDF shop manual I have, it looks like its right in the front in front of the radiator/condenser, if you remove the grill its right there in the front on the bottom. I have a picture I could send you if you need it. Good luck!
Channel C.G.E. yes please! send it to my instagram KidCubanvanilla... This guy that said he was a mechanic, left it hanging with a string and it's hitting the road and i had to use toilet paper with super glue to fix some holes it got from hitting the road... I aslo don't know if the trans oil radiator goes standing up or hanging straight... I could send you a pic of how it looks...
Oh good lord lmao, what a mess! So much for a mechanic. Cool, I’ll shoot you a DM in a few. And yeah if you can send me a picture of how it looks too.
Channel C.G.E. i sent you the pics lol
Helpful video but that intro is ear rape
Wanna sell me your old one?
Julian Rada have a 2005 pt gt convertible. Changed everything except the alternator. Willing to sell.
Es mucho mas facil que lo que dice el video.
