1994 Legacy - Alternator Swap + Loud Belt Squeak ( Video )

Featured Replies

Hey guys

 

I got a 1994 Legacy for $300 and the guy had a newly rebuilt alternator in it

 

It left me on the road after about 25 miles of driving.

Car shut off on the highway so I decided that it was the alternator

 

Went back to the seller, got the receipt and got an another alternator

The guy said "the regulator broke"

 

 

So I installed it and I hear this VERY LOUD squeak... I'm guessing thats because it needs to be tightened but smoke is coming out of the belt...So doesnt that mean its TIGHT already? or its making that because of friction

 

How could I tighten it? The two 12 MM bolts ?

 

Here's the video:

PS. I need a black arm rest piece and a driver side mirror for this car ( just the mirror )

Its pretty tough to get them too tight....chances are the smoking is from slipping, from being too loose. Tighten it up!
