Car was making a whine at 2000rpm, got higher with revs. Thought it was the alternator, which incidentally was charging at 13.5 + volts, so took the belt off, the whine still persisted, seemed to be near front top of motor. Put the alternator belt back on, now the alternator doesn't charge. What did I do wrong? (the whine is not the water pump, I changed that 200km ago.) Whine has got louder aver the last 300 km or so, car still runs fine. Also what could that whine be? 192,000km.

Hello, John,
If my car whined like that I'd check the steering fluid, but I don't know where the pump is on your car.
