Was planning for months to take my 1995 993 Cab to Porsche Parade. A few day before departure I heard a ting sound at idle. Took our 996 to PP and today I found this:
I have owned the car for a couple of years. 86,000 miles. Have never loosened or adjusted any of the belts except the AC belt when I changed the engine mounts.
I am assuming this is the original fan. What are my options here? I believe the new ones are made of aluminum, which is fine with me. Will I need a new shroud as well? Alternator?
There is a very, very slight wiggle in the alternator shaft. When I push down on the shaft it does not seem to decrease the clearance between the fan and shroud. When I turn the alternator shaft independent of the fan I hear a knock sound at the same spot on every rotation.
Would this small alternator shaft movement cause this?
Thanks
