Just dipping into the pool of knowledge, recently replaced my aux belt and tensioner and had no problems for a few hundred miles when the squeak came back. However on inspection I've found the alternator support stay missing and the main bracket snapped off ! Before I replace any ideas why ? Or any previous experience of this ?
Thanks

Never seen one snap off bit if its a over running pull that's seized up that will cause a lot of stress on stuff... If you spin the pully in normal direction and stop it does the inside part keep spinning.

Yep fine, up to the point of removing it all was fine charged ok etc. Also seems strange that the support stay is missing, Not even a bolt left in situ ?

They do still charge If the pullys seized.

How long you owned car? Could have been a botched job before?

Bought it 2 months ago, it's had aftermarket air con fitted and I was wondering the same..... Will see how it goes back together.

I've still got the vac pump attached so it does turn freely but you can't spin it as such
