Hi All,
I had my alternator belt get all squeaky in the last day and finally came totally off while driving (no power steering).
The mechanic wondered how it came loose and showed me that the alternator pulley is no longer in-line with the other pulleys. It was shifted about 2 inches to the left(passenger side).
I saw a thread about R&R of the ALH alternator pulley but wondered if it's possible just to re-tighten it if it didn't completely fall off. I know I will need a new belt as old one has slightly damaged as it came off.
Mechanic said he will try to retighten it if possible. It's currently at VW Petrolero's shop Euro Tech Automotive but Tony was not in today so Sam(owner) is taking a look at it.
Thanks!
