Altinator whine ?....

[daviesbike]

Has anyone experienced a supercharger like noise from there 8 ?

I think the altinator is on its way out im going to take the belt off and run the engine without and see if the noise goes away I paniced and thought it might be the box ! But it dose it in neutral park and drive in time with engine revs.

Any ideas any one ?

We once had a C220 Kompressor but it didn't whine so I don't know how that sounds but my A8 3.0TDi engine does whine slightly compared to other engines and has done since I bought it so would be interested how your test goes.

Does the belt not also drive the aircon and power steering?

Have you checked to see if turning thr aircon off makes a difference?
