latest news.....

This morning I took the belt off and started the car.
....the noise was gone!

So, I went out and bought a new belt and the idler pulley (not the one on the tensioner). The old idler pulley did seem a little loose.

I'm feeling pretty good, the new parts are in the car......so now I start it up......

The noise is still there!

I guess the next is the alternator. Would you replace it just because it's making noise? or would you wait till it goes out? How long can I get with a noisy alternator?
.....if the alternator was bad, wouldn't there be other sympoms????

Thanks again !!
Marcio
