Hi all, @jakex181 can you describe the sound ? I've had a what I can describe as a hi pitched squeal and it always happens at 2000-2250rpm in second or third gear ? Does that sound similar ? It's annoying and needs looked at, just wondering if this could be the pulley clutch ? It is slightly intermittent like doylebros says. @ doylebros the tensioner is that the aux belt tensioner your referring to ? Cheers

Yes the aux belt tensioner was what I was referring too!

This alternator clutch noise was coming and going for weeks but couldn't pin point it so just fitted the part - now no more intermittent noise - by the way I bought the tool which made it an easy install!
