Alternator belt really loud?
Hey,
My alternator belt has been slipping badly, screeching real loud and stinking of burnt rubber... I ended up replacing it today, and it doesn't seem to be slipping any more, but instead there's a really loud whirring noise coming from the engine bay, anywhere over 2k revs. It's like a massive fan noise. Anyone know what this is?
Thanks

Hmm ok... I'm replacing the alternator as it's not putting out enough amps, if the problem persists I'll check the water pump. I'm suspicious about the fan though - it almost spins freely with the engine off, and I don't think it's meant to do this...
