Nissan Repair: rattling sound, nissan pulsar, rattling sound


Question
I have a nissan pulsar q 1990 model and there is a rattling sound near the alternator when i accelerate.

Answer
Criz,

It is probably the idler pulley that keeps tension on the belt.  If that is not it loosen the belt and spin the alternator and see if there is a grinding noise when you spin the pulley.  If the alternator makes a grinding noise then you know the bearings or the brushes are gone.
