have a tdi octavia when started strange noise comes from alternator then when both fans kick in it stops.only thing is when i turn off heating noise comes back anyhelp.

Hiya.

The alternator has a sprague clutch (one way drive) on it; I'd suspect this is playing up, and if you put a multimeter across the battery terminals you won't see the usual 14.3v.
