Hello,I have been a member for about a year now and have enjoyed lurking and
have always been able to find answers in the archives if I needed.My van is
a 1991 2.1 waterboxer. The alternator light comes on,and stays on when I
start the van cold.If I rev it up I hear a click and the alternator light
goes out and the dash lights come on and all is fine until I start it cold
again.I thought it might be the alternator belt so I have tightened the
belt,but that didn't solve the problem?Last week I had a loud noise(like a
fan belt squeal) upon cold start-up,but that has only happened once,and
stopped after I revved it up. I have purchased all new belts and will change
them all this week-end,but I am not sure if this will fix the problem. I
will be driving  the Rodgers pass this Xmas and really don't want a
electrical breakdown over the holidays. Thanks in advance..........this list
is great................
