the back of your alternator may have a vac pump on the rear. if you look at the back you will see clearly a small pump with a couple of hoses off it.

This will not cause the alternator to stop working unless it has seized.

If the alternator or pump has sieved your clutch will be very heavy and your brakes will not work very well
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!

my clutch is fine, but my brakes are very spongey, takes 1-2 pumps to pump them up :D
