Hi All
Just the other day there was a slight whining chaffing noise coming from the aux belt after a long hard drive.
It has since gone away after the commute to work
I have recently changed the aux belt routing to the revise path couple months ago but I fear that the damage has already been done to the bearings of the alternator or tensioner pulley..
The noise has since gone away but want to be prepared if it ever comes back permanent
I think the alternator is the culprit as the old aux belt routing has been on the car since new so around 8 years (car is a 2006)
What do people recommend?
Buying a new alternator from Honda?
Buying a recondition condition one from Ebay
Buying a non major branded one
Or get just the bearings replaced inside the Alternator? (does the bearings need to machined pressed out?
(would it be easier just to replace the alternator?)
With regards to the tensioner pulley, would it be just a matter of purchasing Item 4 here without buying the full ***embly as it is quite pricey.
