Hello All:
I feel really paralyzed with the position I am in right now.
I have 325i 2005 with 53k on it.
I changed my battery recently with an Autozone battery as I was not able to start my car for 2 days in a row in morning.
The autozone battery ran well for 6 days but the small pipe which was connected to the original battery was crushed as the autozone battery was big, I got the battery indicator in the panel and then my car broke down on the highway, I got it towed to my cousin's place in DumFries.
I took the battery to Autozone and they said that Alternator was bad, I have a strong feeling that this Autozone battery ruined my Altrernator, any way I returned the battery and bought a new one from BMW, this one doesnt have the facility to connect the pipe which was there, all these time the car is just sitting there I am scared to use it.
I contacted some people to buy the alternator but they say they need the Amp value which I can't get, I am very new to working on car and couldnt identify anything possibly not even the alternator on my car.
PLease answer my questions and suggest me something.
Do I need to change the Alternator?
How do I know it is the problem do I have to run on new battery again?
If I have to replace Alternator how can I buy the right one?
Or is there any other problem?
PLease help I cannot live without my car.
Thank you,
Krishna Balam
