If there are reported cases of alternator noise and/or auxiliary belt damage, it may be possible that the belt is not tracking properly.
SERVICE:
On customer complaints of "noisy alternator", the alignment of the auxiliary belt must be checked and corrected as described in the instructions below.
Only in cases where the auxiliary belt alignment is correct and the noise is still present with a new auxiliary belt can the replacement of the alternator to
solve the noise concern be justified.
