I have a 2000 W reg fiesta 1.3 and yesterday oil got accidentally spilt over the engine, some of which seems to have gone in the alternator. Looking underneath the car the underside of the alternator is wet with oil and some of the coil of wire inside also looks like it is wet with oil. Also the battery light on the dash has come on. Could the oil be the reason and if so is there any advice you could offer for someone like myself who has a tight budget and cant really start taking the car to bits with my lack of knowledge. Is it possible to clean off the oil with out taking the car apart? I have checked the battery connectors, the alternator belt and they seem ok. Many thanks Richard maineboy1963 User May 8, 2011, 11:50 AM Post #2 of 3 (3051 views) Re: Oil in alternator Sign In need new or used alt got to wet burn it out that why bat light comes on not put out full 14 volts Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 8, 2011, 1:37 PM Post #3 of 3 (3037 views) Re: Oil in alternator Sign In You can get a can of electrical spray cleaner and try to wash the oil out of the alternator. Pay close attention to the area where the brushes are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
