Hi all,
This afternoon when I started my punto there was a weird whirring noise that got louder when I turned any electrical devices on. I called the RAC and their mechanic said that the alternator bearing has gone (or is going).
Anyway - the car has been taken to a garage to be looked at.
I'd be interested to know what sort of cost I may expect to be up for. Any ideas? Is this something that is easy enough to do myself? Can alternator bearings be changed or is it a case of changing the alternator altogether?
Thanks.
