davec Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 As description the cracking noise seems to come from the alternator belt,took belt off and tried alternator clutch and tensioner wheel both seem fine.Got a price of Quote
gregers Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 might be the tensioner?do a search for it,its a common problem.normally you change both the clucth pully and tensioner. Quote
Bigjeeze Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 I'm confused - is this noise a one off or constant? Quote
davec Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I'm confused - is this noise a one off or constant? It did it first thing in the morning each time I used it over Xmas and New Year.When I took it to my local guy it was warm and didnt do it.I took the belt off and checked the freewheeling as per the posts in FAQ and seems fine also tensioner seems fine.Sods law it hasnt done it since.Baffled but concerned it might let me down,but if all I get is roughness and noise I can get it done then.If its going to break down and leave me/wife stranded thats a big problem.Thanks for the advice Edited January 5, 2012 by davec Quote
chrispb123456 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Still sounds like the pulley, how are you checking for freewheeling? Quote
davec Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Pulled the tensioner back and unhooked the belt,then popped a screwdriver into the alternator fan and turned the pulley,went one way not the other,also was quite smooth and cant see any rust.The tensioner pulley was also smooth when turned.Followed the write up in the FAQ pretty much Quote
