spudley1988 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just a quickie chaps. Alternator is screaming like a pig, can it be tensioned from the top or do i have to go under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It can be done from the top, can't think exactly how it works of the top of my head but iirc there is a sliding tensioner bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Had a quick boggle under the hood. Seems proper hard to get to the alternator from top. All aircon pipes and power steering etc block a lot of the way. More mechanical minded people would probably manage id presume lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudley1988 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Managed to squeeze in without removing battery. Alternator was at it's tightest point and the belt could be turned maybe a half turn. However once tightened it back up it's not squeaked lol but new belt is here just incase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Never a bad idea to have a replacement belt handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
