Sudden horrible rattle from the engine area...oh that's why!

Post by psilosin »

So I'm driving home from the lab and suddenly at a stoplight a horrible rattle develops from the engine area. "FFFFFffffffffffff now what???" I say with a wink and a smile... I pull off and have a listen and it sounds like its coming from the crank pulley with which I proclaim "Fffffffffffffffff!!!! not you again!" Anyway made it home and had a closer look and much to my blood pressure's pleasure it turns out that bottom alternator bolt had come loose and was just hanging by a thread. Still a pain in the ass but much less of a pain in the ass than I was expecting so this is going down as a tenative WIN.
