Hi all
I have this metal on metal noise (whine) emanating from the front of the engine and seems to originate from the alternator. About August last year I did a salt water crossing and am wondering if anyone agrees that salt water from this might have got into the alternator and done some damage or has experienced anything similar?
I went to Toyota today, $717 for new alternator not fitted :shock: and they don't do recon one's for my model :evil: My last option is to take it to Toyota for them to remove and get an auto electrician to recon and fit back in.
I'm starting to regret the salt water crossing, what is the general consensus on them in PP land?
