Alternator Repair

**duncan_sheek** · August 8th, 2005 07:15 PM

Last saturday tumirik sasakyan ko, good thing a few blocks away nalang sa bahay namin, salamat nalang sa brgy tanod na nagtulak... sira ang alternator, while driving nawala na aircon, radio and signal lights. nag-light up na din ang battery indicator, nagdadasal nako na wag muna mamatay ang engine at umabot ako sa bahay... Oh well, here's my question, pwede pa ba ma-repair ang alternator or will i just buy a new one. newbie lang ako... naghahanap ako ngayon ng mag-home service kasi di ko talaga ma-start sasakyan ko bec of the busted alternator. how much will i spend on it? im from mandaluyong, meron kayong alam na mahusay mag-repair or kung saan makakabili ng bago, kahit surplus... Thanks in advance.

usually po narerepair yan. ang pinakacommon nasisira either yung IC or voltage regulator depende sa car mo.

Ano ba car nyo? Kasi sa Handyman, they sell local bnew alternators for "common" cars like Corolla, Lancer etc, mga 3K lang bnew with 1 year warranty.

sir sure na ba talaga ang diagnose mo ay alternator...kasi baka pwede fuse lang or battery ...kaya ayw pa mag start (as for my experience)

pwede pa ba ma-repair ang alternator

pwedeng pwede pa po marepair ang alternator..

kahit sunog ang winding or worn out na bearing

hanap ka lang magaling na electrical shop lapit sa place mo .,Evangelista ,makati
dami daw doon .
(sorry di ako familiar sa area nyo)

will i just buy a new one

..

depende sa iyo kung mag add ka din ng mga electrical or electronics accessories..

better bili ka na din bago or surplus na higher ampere rating..

around 2K to 2.5K cguro ..

yep, sa bahay when i start the engine ok naman pero nag-light up na ang battery indicator, i ignored it and drove off. while driving napapansin kong humihina na ang aircon until totally mawala na, radio & signal lights wala narin power, so i quickly turned 180 and decided to go back home pero hindi ako umabot at namatay ang engine a few blocks before reaching our house.
i suppose talagang alternator po ang cause. By the way, my car is ae92 1.6... di ako marunong mag-kalas ng alternator para dalhin sa shop. temporarily i'll have my alternator repaired and will eventually buy a new one next month. Thanks sa info.

Bry/Red888,

The one they're selling sa HandyMan is Ishin Denki brand. They have for almost all car brands and models. They also have upgrades (higher amp) but only if applicable to your ride, ideal for cars with a loadfull of accessories installed.

Ano ba ride mo? I suggest instead of buying surplus buy this one na lang, may warranty pa. I can help you get one if you're interested. I know Ishin Denki.
