This is a head scratcher. I recently acquired a 98 TB Sport with 48K miles on it. Intermittently, after warming up and riding a while, I will get a buzzing sound at idle that I hear on the left side of the engine. The strange thing about it is the sound goes away as soon as I press the brakes. What I'm thinking is the volt draw of the brake light must be doing something to the alternator that causes the buzz to go away. Not sure why. Any ideas? It sort of reminds me of an air conditioning compressor clutch that rattles around until the AC kicks on, but I don't know how that would apply to an alternator. Thoughts?
