XC90 alternator clutch question
I have a 2007 XC90 3.2 AWD. The Volvo dealership service tells me that the alternator is always running, which is not supposed to happen, so they need to replace the alternator clutch. Dealer tells me it will damage the alternator over time. Quote is $1,250.
I thought the alternator was always engaged, even when idling. Does the alternator engage / disengage on the 2007 XC90's? The dealer replaced the alternator clutch pulley last year but I haven't been able to find the difference between the alternator clutch and the alternator clutch pulley.

If you had the alternator clutch pulley recently replaced it should not need renewing so soon. The cost sounds excessive too.
