Hi,
I have recently noticed the humming/hissing sound frommy hond accord engine area. This come lound only when the car is standing while engine is on and once it starts running i hardly notice that sound. I have consulted onemechanic and he believes that the fan in my urlternator is melted and advice to replace alternator.
I am not sure if he diagnosted it correct. Also I would like to know if this can be something covered with manufacturer , as I dont have extended waranty and my car is 8 yr old with 81K mile. he estimated work at price of $433 ( 225 for OEM part + labor). Can you please advice if this can be an alternator problem or not?
