⚙️ Key Features

• Marked Alt
• 0.02 kg
• Supersedes 852986
• 43 applications across five engine series

🔌 Function

Makes a solid, low-resistance link between two terminals, carrying current across the joint without a flexible cable.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Bar discoloured, blued or heat-marked at one end
• Terminal faces pitted, burnt or carrying a black film
• Charging fault that comes and goes when the terminal is disturbed
• Nut or stud found loose, or the bar found bent from over-tightening

🛠️ Service Notes

• Cable kit 860173 carries the same Alt marking and covers the flexible side of the same circuit
• Clean both mating faces to bright metal and tighten to a firm, even torque - a current bar fails at the joint far more often than in the bar itself
