WTB: 2.5L Alternator
 

Just as the title says. Looking for a 2.5 liter alternator in north Texas, dfw to be exact. Please pm me the condition, price, miles, and age. Item needs to be in good working order.

I have one that tested 13.7 volts output which is what you want. Came on a 3.6 engine I bought but it's not original so don't know age but it came from Phoenix, so no harsh weather.
I'll ship it to DFW for $150.

Do you happen to know if it's the same part number?

Is your car auto or manual trans?

Dude,
Get yours rebuilt for $80 and be done with it.

Manual transmission.

Where? I've never gone this route before. Is there a Porsche specialist I can ship to?

also send a PM to "itsnotanova"

Woody has a Boxster salvage yard in Bastrop, TX and can probably hook you up no problem.

Mine is 997-603-012-fx same # Pelican shows for a 99 Box, but with 997 prefix because it's newer. Also has the manual trans pulley.

I got one from a 986, I'll do 55$ shipped, tested in good shape, I pulled it myself from a 99 boxster 2.5l manual transmission

Know how many miles are on it?

Look for a local starter/alternator shop. Our town isn't that big but we have a shop, Panama Starter and Alternator that offers the service.

The Boxster's alternator is made by Bosch. When I had a problem with my the alternator on my 2000 BoxS, I removed it, had it tested at Autozone to verify what I thought the problem was (bad voltage regulator). I went to the Panama Starter and alternator and they could have rebuilt it, no problem. Instead, I purchased a Bosch VR (~$40 IIRC in 2013), swapped it and reinstalled the alternator. It's been over two years without further problems.
I had the same shop rebuild the starter on my 1984 Alfa Spider in 2011 when I had the head off as the starter was very accessible at that point. The shop charged me $75.

I like the rebuild process on these cars as I know that mechanically the part will fit.

Bout 93k miles on it

You will find that your very unique Porsche alternator (Bosh) most likelly have an Audi or VW part number.

If you get yours rebuilt, they will install new bearings, brushes/brush holder and also the regulator (no black magic there)

You don't want to install a used part that may be failing soon...
