I wouldn't use an autozone alternator, it for one will not have the correct clutching pulley on it.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
I am from Turkey you know and i have 2003 year Carrera 4 Cabriolet Pcar.
I have again problem... My cars problem started 1 year ago..
My cars battery finish sometimes like in 1 month - 2 times...
And i go to service and they said me your battery old etc etc..
And i change my battery nothing...
My battery always finish finish finish...I didnt care about this problem in 1 years.. But last 2 month i am always changing my battery 2 days 1 times..
I bought 2 battery and one black and decker battery charger etc etc.. and i am boring for this problem..
I go to service ..and i have argued with the masters.. I will call the boss etc etc etc... anddd finally after 1 week.. they said me we found the problem..
Okey what is the problem..
Service say me.. We controlled all of the parts which can consume energy from battery..And we found your cars alternator have some problem... They give high voltage or low voltage i dont understand etc etc..
And they said me -- you must change your alternator.. you cant fix etc..and they give me the price... Price is 4000 $... In turkish money it is 8000 TL....
I make a little search.. and i see i think the alternators didint too much money.. and maybe i can go and fix from some electirician..
They give me this code..
The code is P 99660301205
What do u say? Someone fix this Alternator it is possible..
If it is possible ı can go some prof electirician..
And 2. question The Alternator which code they give.. This is really too much price lie 4000 $$ ???
If it took them that long to diagnose the problem after that many batteries they are incompetent . Sounds like trying to rip you off. Any shop that works on German cars should be able to remove the unit in about an hour and get it rebuilt
I wouldn't use an autozone alternator, it for one will not have the correct clutching pulley on it. That said, indeed $4k is insane. Jeez, is it really that bad in Turkey? Wasn't like that last time I visited, try a different shop! Anything over $700 or so even at a dealer is starting to get unreasonable.
Thank you for your answers all...
Reallly i am very happy to read these messages..I was feeling really bad since i heared 4000 $...
But know everything is nice..
I want to ask last question..
I searched alternator for 996 2003 carrera in ebay etc etc..
