Hey, I've had a rattle for a while and it changes every now and then, it usually only rattles after a gear change in high rpm. I had to change the power steering belt recently and afterwards the rattle was different so I played with the alternator belt and its definitely something rattling on either the alternator or compressor, the tighter it is the less rattle but I don't want to damage the bearings, anyone had this problem?
The compressor pulley seems to have minimal play, so I'm guessing its that, is it possible to change just the pulley or does the whole compressor have to come off? |

Just fixed a noise myself in that same area 5 mins ago.
Mine was the idler pulley left under the altenator, above the compressor. Cheap easy fix if it is it. Oh btw, when I was changing them out it was noted the compressor belt was much tigher then the alternator one. This post has been edited by rave2n: Apr 16, 2011 - 1:45 PM |
