Minie used to do the same, just spray WD40 between the pulley and the alternator casing with the engine running.


p.s. doing this is so much easier if you have no air-con fitted!

Yoursie didie did it? I did this for some coniderable amount of time and it worked for approximately 30 seconds and then started again, should i just keep doing it daily until it stops?

Is it likely that you have a knackered bearing already?

It was a secondhand unit from TonyN so its possible i suppose, but wouldnt that be a buzz more than a squeak?

Depends on how knackered it is - if it is knackered of course - if it's cracked it may be rubbing causing a metallic squeal.....

That'd be a bugger wouldnt it? Oh well ill crack on wiv wd40 and then speak to tony about another altenator........ again

Cheers mate
