Alternator spoilt common wear & tear?
alternator
Hi,
I have changed to a recon alternator about 2 weeks ago. Voltmeter reading still will drop below 11V and quite unstable every day, especially reverse, braking on slope, cornering, etc. Driving normally with aircon on and turning on ICE... This recon one has 1 month warranty. Battery changed 6 months ago.
Btw, there is a bad smell every morning startup for the past 1 week. Aircon also not cold liao since this morning. (Not sure if the smell and aircon are related to the alternator?)
Please advise me if I should change to new one.
Thanks!

Hi bros just to check how long it takes to change it? Also beside SKM the other workshop at sim ming is at which level.
My problem seems to be Alternator going to spoil as well. Just yesterday whie trying to make a turn my sterling wheel feels heavy and my radio just off by itself and on by itself again.
Everything is stock has not done any mod to mine car. After reading through what had happen i think i must go get it check as well.

May b i should go back n get my batt check to see is there any problem with it
Try ubi , Blk 3005, batt shop. Heard from one of our bro here got it new + labour @ $610 total damage..XsenseX wrote:My alternator starting to up lorry too.
Just want to check any bros actually change to new one before?
I mean, if its around $700, i don't mind get a new one compared to $300 to repair with only 1 year warranty.
