My nephew's 2001 T-5 S-60 had it's alternator fail, and the shop is telling him that he has the "special" alternator w/ a clutch in it (that disengages to provide max power to the driveline).

The dealer wants $670 just for a rebuilt alternator, plus $300 labor to change the part, or about $1100 w/ tax.

We were wondering if a non-clutch alternator will install in the vehicle to save about $425 of the job.

The dealer says it cannot install anything different (or it will lose its Volvo certification), but he can get another shop to install it if it is a "bolt-in" job.

To be honest, when I looked at the alternator buried under the timing belt cover, it didn't look different than a "normal" alternator, though at that point I wasn't LOOKING for anything odd.

Thanks-
Bob
