Alternators
Alternators keep your battery charged, so your car can run at its best. Without an alternator, you wouldn't be able to start your MINI model. Aside from charging the battery, the alternator helps power your taillights and headlights, car radio, infotainment systems, and windshield wipers.
What Are The Signs of a Failing Alternator?
Over time, your alternator may start to fail. It's not uncommon, and there are certain warning signs you can keep an eye out for. They include:
- Battery warning light on the dashboard
- Lights that are too dim or too bright
- Slow functioning accessories
- A dead battery
- Trouble starting your vehicle
- A burning rubber smell
- Alternator fluid leaks
On average, an alternator can last between 6-10 years, or about 80,000 to 150,000 miles.
