The supplier lists it for the Toyota RAV4 (2009-2012), the Toyota Camry (2012-2015) and the Scion tC (2011-2016), under reference numbers that include 290-5543, 27060-36010 and 27060-0V010. Easy Life Markets sells it as one alternator with a 6-groove pulley fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.5 litre four is a dependable engine, but its alternator lives a hard life low down at the front of the block, where it collects heat, road spray and belt dust. After enough years the bearings get noisy or the output drops, and the battery light comes on.

With the engine off, a healthy charged battery reads about 12.6 volts. Start the engine and the reading should climb to roughly 13.5 to 14.5 volts. If it does, the alternator is charging and your fault lies elsewhere, often a tired battery or a corroded terminal. If the voltage stays at battery level or falls as you switch on the lights and blower, the alternator or its wiring is at fault. Also look at the belt. A glazed or loose belt slips on the pulley and gives the same low reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Noises Mean\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier gives three pointers that we find useful:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise that appears while the engine speed is changing usually comes from the belt. Check its condition and tension first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise from the front or rear of the alternator body suggests dry or worn bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise from the middle of the body with noticeable vibration suggests the rotor is touching the stator, and the unit needs repair or replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier's own outline goes like this: disconnect the negative battery cable; take off the intake hose, mass airflow sensor and air filter; loosen the belt tensioner and slip the belt off; unbolt and remove the old alternator; clean dust and oil from the mounting position; fit the new unit and reattach the bolts and connections; refit the belt; refit the intake parts; reconnect the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few points we would add. Keep the battery disconnected for the whole job, because the output cable is live otherwise. Lay the old and new units side by side before fitting. Tighten the fasteners to the service manual figures. If you have not worked on a charging system before, a professional mechanic is the safer route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAfter the Swap\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharge the battery fully before the first drive, so the new alternator is not asked to recover a flat battery. Check the belt for cracks or glazing while it is off and replace it if it is marked. After a few days of driving, look at the belt tracking again and make sure the output cable nut is still tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Alternator Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwners of a listed RAV4, Camry or tC with the 2.5 litre four-cylinder who have matched a part number, and garages looking for a complete replacement unit with pulley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a genuine Toyota alternator?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is an unbranded aftermarket part.
