98 V70 Bosch Alternator Plastic Cover Screws

Post by E Showell »

Does anyone happen to know the type and size of fastener used to secure the black plastic cover to the alternator? There are three of them and I just can't tell whether they are torx and if so, what size. If I had the alternator out of the car I could tell, but I am attempting a voltage regulator replacement in situ. Thanks

A regular star screwdriver will work. Make sure you get the right VR as there are two styles, so check before you buy. Also check the slip rings for wear when you take the VR out. One of mine was toast so I just had the entire alternator rebuild for $120... Just like new..

They are a small torx, I think it is T-15.
