2000 S70 non turbo 5 cyl. alternator problems S70

Just had my alternator relaced today. It ran fine for about 5 miles and then started to run terrible like the timing was off. Any ideas what the mechanic did or didnt do in the process of replacing the alternator?

Thanks,

Mike

    If the car only runs good when cold, then the engine is too rich. You should check for pending codes - those that haven't turned the CEL yet.

    The alternator is next to the ECT sensor, engine fan relay, and a bunch of other things. Check the battery wires, one might be loose. Check the wire connections on the alternator.

    Did the mechanic replace it with a Volvo unit or Chinese? If the unit was used, have it checked for voltage again.

    If the mechanic says it wasn't his fault, and he doesn't know what is wrong, tell him that you will be forced to go to the dealer and will send him the bill.
