1.0 Strange whining noise..

[LiamB]

Hey guys, recently my 1.0 has started to make a sort of whistling/whining noise coming from the aux belt/alternator? Any ideas as to what this could be?

It seems to happen when the battery is low, so could it just be a simple case of getting a new battery and alternator?

Over working an alternator that may already have worn bearings possibly

Could be the fan belt is loose but it's more of a squeal

Could you post a vid of the noise? It might help quite abit

Thanks for the reply, an over worked alternator certainly sounds like it could be it as I recently put that sound system in that was in my thread. Also it is on the original battery and alternator as far as I'm aware, there was what sounded like a bearing noise but that comes and goes. Currently out at the minute but will post a vid for you as soon as I get in mate

Could be one of two things
Your alternator bearings or you tensinor
Wheel bearings try spraying wd40
But without seeing or hearing it
It's a stab in the dark
