nope
i don't think its not the alternator it self it's the voltage regulator or maybe its normal
maybe every one should try it and see if they get the same result


side question please:
dose you car sound like this when its hot ?

ok thanks

i can't see any thing that can go wrong in the alternator other than the voltage regulator and the carbon bits
