mr_mcp Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi, I recently changed the belt tensioner on my 300TDi and at the time I noticed the bearing on the alternator sounded pretty ropey. The alternator squeal has got progressively worse now and it's driving me mad! Can I replace the bearing (as it still charges fine) or would it be better just to replace the unit? Thanks, mr_mcp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 depends on your patience/spare time and how long you can manage without the truck. I personally would get a new alternator especially if its been waded/mudded. It wont only be the one bearing on its way out. Rule no.1 no job is a "simple" job.
