New alt and belts now whiring noise

Post by stilivn »

So just fitted a new alternator and belts to the 80 now its making this high pitched whiring noise. No its isnt a gilmore but yes sound like that but quieter. The new belts had teeth like surface on the inside where the old ones were smooth/flat. Could it be I have over tightened them or is it something else.
Cheers in advance!

My first thought was you have probably over tightened the belts. I'd loosen them off a touch and see if that sorts out your problem.

Cheers Mick.

This is not legal advice.
