another alternator question Posted by TML [Email] (#2212) [Profile/Gallery] (more from TML) on Tue, 28 Jan 2014 00:18:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Driving home from work today I noticed a humming/whining sound. When I got home and popped the hood, discovered the sound appears to be coming from the alternator. I have another alternator, however I'll only have a couple of hours before I have to leave for work tomorrow, so getting the swap done would be tight, at best. Once a symptom like that is noticed, how fast can I expect it to escalate to non-functioning? I have a 100km commute one way, and the way back is in the middle of the night, so getting stranded would not be a trivial matter. I'm going to remove the drive belt at least tomorrow, and see if I can more positively locate the source of the sound.
