not quite "correct". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Only happens when the engine is cold. I'm pretty sure it's the alternator. Anyone else have an alternator that is occasionally noisey? I assume it's a bearing. Do I just let it go? Or will it screwup the unit even further? Do I just have to replace it with a rebuilt unit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Most alt shops replace only the parts necessary to get the unit to minimum output specs. Paul is a bosch authorized repair point and builds them to better than factory specs. He also builds high torque starters.
