HELP! Broke down in NJ, alternator died.

[autoelf92]

Well, I'm in a bit of a sticky situation....on my way home from Longisland NY my alternator decided to die and now I am stuck in Hackettstown NJ. Is anyone in the area? Does anyone have a spare alternator nearby? I am sitting infront of an advance auto parts store waiting for them to open, so I am not certain that I will be able to get an alternator anywhere in this town. Any help whatsoever would be GREATLY appreciated! You can reach me at 614-425-8559 if you think you can help. Thank you.

Louis.

Doesn't look like you are too far from Montigue, NJ where there is a great tdi guru.

Louis, here's the info I promised to post when we talked:

Mike Hevner
973-293-8588

To other club members: Advance had the alternator, and Louis is now installing it. He's an experienced wrencher. I thought he could call Hevner if he ran into any problems.

Thanks guys, I was able to get an alternator from Advance and remove/install it myself with a small craftsman kit and a crowbar. Finally arrived home at 7PM, I left at 2:30 am....longest drive of my life.
