Alternator or Pulley Issue?

Postby pl01 » Sun Aug 27, 2017 11:28 am

I am hoping someone can help...........every so often I get a grinding / rattling noise coming from the engine (alternator area) coupled with the alternator light coming on. This is always from a cold start up, it's like a grinding / rattling noise and sometimes a really worrying banging. If you key off and then start up again the problem is gone. This only happens every so often so is not a constant issue. I do not want to purchase both an over run pulley shaft and alternator if only one is faulty (as both parts are expensive). What are your thoughts, has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks in advance..........

Sounds like the front bearing in your alternator a quick squirt with WD40 near the pulley and see if that runs quiet ?

For any users experiencing the same problem...the over run pulley was at fault here.
