406 alternator pulley moved.

Oct 13, 2006 1 Replies

Have a 1999 406 HDI 2litre turbo diesel esate. Alternator belt snapped!!



Went to fit a new belt and noticed that the alternator pulley had moved and the belt had just been running on the shaft b4 it snapped.



On removal of the pulley from the alternator there appears to be some sort of bearing which has disintegrated inside it.



Has anyone any idea if the pulley is available anywhere or would I need to replace the alternator. On other makes the pulley cannot be purchased on its own.



Thanks in advance.



You need to contact your local auto electrical shop, the type that specialises in starters and alternators, they will be in the phone book for your area, they will have the pulley, or a complete alt, and can even repair in most cases, HTH Fitzy
