Klaus, been there, done that! First problem is the bushings in your alternator. Very common, and not too difficult to change. Second problem is a little tougher. I would suggest having your cooling system pressure tested. This will show exactly where you are losing coolant. HTH, Al

1. My alternator sits sideways; I can not get the proper tension in my fan belt although I exhausted the adjusting range. I suspect the alternator bracket??? or the bolt that holds the alternator onto the bracket.

2. I have to replenish my coolant every week. Do I need a new radiator? I do not see any visible leaks from the radiator.

Anyone experienced any of these problems? Any help willbe appreciated.
