Weird noise when turning off car
Hello everyone
It has been a long time since this problem had appeared (~1 year at least)
everytime I turn off my car, there will be a weird sound coming from the engine bay
Finally I went back to Lexus and asked them to do a check up
found out that its the Alternator that is making the noise
Dealer quoted me for around $875 for the fix
I later went to pepboys for a second check
they say its either compressor or alternator (just a quick check tho, probably doing a more detail check tomorrow morning)
here, have a clip I just took (sorry for the bad quality tho)

did anyone also occurred this same problem??
If it is the alternator, I will just plan to do a DIY then...
Thanks for the input

Just got back from pepboys
apparently its the Alternator making that noise
Also I have a question
are rwd and awd using the same alternator??
part number 270603106284
now i would like some feedback
and i prefer doing it myself on this one
-getting the OEM from sewell ($407)
or
-look on ebay for used OEM parts (price varies)
or
-just give it to pepboys on this one (670 parts and labor total, Prostart remanufactured alternator)
