It's pretty awful and I think it's the alternator belts.

That's the weird bit. This alternator has two belts. I've no idea why there are two. Neither appears to drive anything else.

This does not appear to be the original alternator. It's a Bosch and there's a Bosch manual in my owner's manual packet. The tightening bracket also appears to have been Macgyvered. An has a larger 13mm bolt head welded on... Weird stuff.
What's up with this? Can I remove the secondary alternator belt, or is there some reason it's one there?
