Alternator Pulley

[daveryandirect]

Hi, I have been getting a nasty noise from my car, especially when I turn the wheel when idling. I've been told that it's the alternator pulley that needs replacing. Does anyone know where I can buy this part? And if so, how long should I expect it to take to get fixed by a mechanic?

Thanks,

Dave

if that is the part that is the culprit,then it may also need a new tensioner and belt?

try gsf,seat,vw,or even fords,but i bet gsf will be the cheapest for the tensioner,iirc when i done mine vw was cheaper for the pully.

i done mine in a couple of hours,but im a numpty so a mechanic with all the gear shouldnt take that long??
