Jamie698 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Dash lit up under acceleration, standard two warning triangle symbols, battery symbol and orange car symbol. Quick look under the bonnet and the alternator pulley is not spinning, looks like there is sufficient belt contact. Is this common for the alternator to seize or is it more likely the belt tensioner is at fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Take the aux belt off (5 minute job) and try turning the alternator pulley by hand. I have known of one seize before but don't think it's a common issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie698 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks will do, should it be fairly easy to spin by hand if functioning correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 There will be a small amount of resistance but pretty easy to spin by hand yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
