Alternator whine/supercharger sound



  2002 Clio sport 172
Hi all.

After buying my 172 recently i have found that when at idle and a little rev i get a supercharger sound coming from my engine bay tracked it down to what i think the problem is, the alternator earth not be adequete enough.

Now its had a new alternator on the car, and looking at the wiring i cannot see an obvious earth wire, is there one on these or is it just done throught the battery earth?

sounds like this:



But i dont think i can do this as i have a standard radio without RCA leads.

yeah i think i just need to earth the alternator properly. as i think the mechanic bodged the alternator wiring as on of the plugs that goes on to it has a wire cut but its been done purposefully so i need a picture of someones alternator to see if thats the problem
