On further investigation, I found the plastic surround that keeps the cogged belt from exploding in the engine compartment when it gives way is somewhat warped and is rubbing against the alternator spinning thingy...and also wore a hole through the plastic where the cogged wheel is. Lucky I caught this...it could eventually lead to my cogged belt to skip or break. I was thinking of removing it and securing all the hoses and wires out of the way of the cogged belt. is that a bad Idea? Where can I get another black plastic cover? I could always just cut away the bent part that's rubbbing and retain some of the protection from that cover. Heat it and bend it?
