Rattling sound from alternator

[AndrewF]

I have a 2009 CRV that occasionally makes a rattling and clicking noise from the alternator area and the VSA warning light comes on. I think this subject was touched on a few years ago. Would anyone have any further thoughts on this? Any help much appreciated.

Have you checked the auxiliary belt tensioner? They can cause a rattle if the bearing is on the way out. It'll be worth checking all the other pulley bearings that it drives as well
