My altanator belt has a rattle sound. If I put water on the altanator belt if clears. Also if I rev lightly it clears then comes back.
It's had a full cambelt kit with a new altanator belt.
I think it's a pulley but not sure which one that's the problem. There must be way's to see which one it might be?

Thanks

Re: Altanator belt rattle sound
it could be the belt is over tight which can cause the auto adjuster the clatter against the cam belt cover

Re: Altanator belt rattle sound
Could be that the new belt is not of the correct length, if its to long the tensioner can rattle, look at it while its running and see if the tensioner is jumping up and down.

Re: Altanator belt rattle sound
The car had a new altantor belt its a tight fit.
So I will get a new tensioner I had a look at the black plastic wheel it's not smooth so it must need changing.
