Hi friends.
I finally powered up my Cupra today, (probably last done before Xmas), & all started perfectly, even ran for about 30mins to fully warm up & no probs. After that I had a noticeable whine when accelerating (stationary & in neutral) & the whine would fade out after revs dropped.
I tried to record, but it hasn't come out well & I can't seem to attach it to this post either. I'll try again after.
From what I've read, it could be the alternator bearings, but it could also other unpleasant things. My car is laid up with shite braking system, but I can move it about for a short time.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
I've seen you can remove the tension & test the the alternator by hand, but I'm lame & worry I won't get it tensioned correctly (is that just my stupidity? ) I'm annoyed whatever, because I've got a fcked braking system & could really do without another
problem. I certainly can't fix it until I have funds put aside as my
Ibiza is costing me £400 on Friday

but if there is anything I can do, that would be good. Thanks.
