Take care lah bro ...

My suggestion is to switch off all lights and air con ice 2-3 min before you exist the car ... i see your photos many lights and angel lights which when switch off still electricity is going around the car and there is a few lost ...

In the past i have a volt meter in the engine compartment ... after altnater F***K me i draw the voltinto my car to read very day ... *laughs ...

It is not your problem ....

I went to Ice kopi session ... many honda cars also same problem and they have good battery ... no use de ... i dunno ... but i guess we drawing too much power that the alternator isforced to work very much harder to producxeand battery sucking the current ...

get a recon is good enough ... i use 6 months later also no problem after that ... bo pian de ...

my Alternator spoilt twice on same day. what could it happen?
Wkshop guy had checked wired and fuse, battery abt 1 mth old only.
What could it happen?

2nd Alternator is recon, could it be 2nd Alternator also faulty? ( after 1 hrs drive with 2nd Alternator, my steering wheel and parameter all not working) but i still manage to drive back to workshop ( another 1 hrs spend it traffic jam)

I just bought a used CL7R, is it a good idea to get the car's alternator changed?

I think I always like to follow 1 theory which is dun do anything to something which is not spoilt..

Juz to bump up this post which is gd info to many of us who may face alternator issue.

On wed night, when starting my CL7 - noticed that a louder than usual sound coming from engine.
The next morning, same sound appears. (Decide that cannot wait anymore, need to go workshop).
Halfway thru running my errands, rpm, speedo drop to zero, no aircon, no music. CEL, handbrake, all light up. Steering wheel stiffen...
-All the tell tale sign of alternator "up lorry"

While driving halfway to workshop, experience expressway jam as there is accident in front... (keep telling my to car to "tahan" and please don't die on me in the middle of expressway. Finally reach workshop n confirm alternator. But price is ex. close to 1k. (New) Decide to call Viper (HP off) & MMM (bangladesh). Surf SHC forum to look for help instead.

After comparison with two other workshops, decide to go other wokshop coz they can help me with the price of $280. (repair/recon/2nd hand)
What i did was ask this workshop to charge up the batt for 1 hour, (As advised) and i made my way to another workshop.

Thus, we can ask the workshop to do the above of charging of batt if u find e price that they quote for alternator is ex or they cannot source it.
No need to call for toll truck or "no choice, i have to let this workshop repair else my car might die on me if i drive to another workshop" mindset.

It's at your own risk but this works for me (the distance travelled is ard 30km)
