PaulE Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Hello, the - what I think is the alternator or the area near it has suddenly become very noisy (see video) sounds like a bearing noise. If it is the alternator can it be fixed or is it a replacement. The belt appears to be in good condition but is it best to replace that also? If replacement where is the best place to buy one and can anyone supply me with a part no. please. Series 1 hybrid E4 - vin ATH10 0013973. many thanks 20240214_104856.mp4

PaulE Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Not sure what is needed, I assume if it is the alternator I would have to replace it but if anyone can advise me what is required and if anyone has had a similar issue.
Picasso Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Alternator part no. G128028011 on hybrid these are not normal alternators they are high voltage and cost over £1200 + vat from toyota they also not repairable i personaly dont think its the alternator i would be looking at the belt tensioner which is part no. 1662028030 have atatched a drawing circled in red 1
PaulE Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Hi, thanks for the info- if it is the belt tensioner where is the best place to get one- I clicked the link but Partsouq showed "nothing found"- I searched on Toyota EPC and found the info attached- are there any other suppliers I could try?
Picasso Posted February 14 Posted February 14 the part no. has been changed check this link have used it a few times and they are good genuine parts https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/1662028031 get your vehicle checked at garage be fore purchasing as will be waste of money if its not the problem if i was you get belt changed first see if that works as that be cheaper option. if you want part no. for belt let me know 1
PaulE Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Yes please let me have part no. for belt- local garage checking it tomorrow, cheers.
PaulE Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 Just had the garage check it and you were correct- it is the belt tensioner- need a new belt also so if you can advise the part no. it would be appreciated. Garage say I can still use the vehicle which is a relief. Thank you for the help.
