Engine noise

Hi all,

My ep91 N/A starlet (4efe), there is a rattling noise coming from the engine. The noise isn't coming directly from the engine. Its coming from the alternator area.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

try dropping off the aux belt and run the car to see if that stops the sound. dont run it for too long though as the coolant pump wont run without the belt.

I've heard a few going before and they can certainly be an issue. As Duncan says, take the belt off and see if the noise disappears. Don't run the car for any length of time though as the waterpump won't be turning without the belt.

Cooling by convection though :D

That's a joke.
