Hi could it be the alternator problem? how to check whether your alternator is charging your battery when ur car is started? i think i will bring the battery go to charge first.. btw if really alternator broken, still can claim warranty right because my car still within 3 years?

To check Alternator is working or not :

Start your engine, while the car engine is running, disconnect the battery. if the engine keeps on running, it means the alternator is working fine. if the engine is stalled or almost stall, your alternator needs to be checked.

well, if you are on the budget and wants a little less 'floaty' suspension setting from stock, install them. you can feel that your car is a little less 'floaty' smile.gif

just like what Camel said.. floaty.. hehehe.. but it depends on the spring rate as well.. if u have a soft spring and hard spring it will show the diff.. hard to tell.. depends on your set up..

Hi all sifu,
yesterday morning wanna start my VIVA but couldnt.
1. Sound tick tick tick when turn trying to start.
2. Radio, air con can on.
3. Emergency light on.

After tried few times, finally can start but it is very weak and slow to ignit.
1. Battery indicator still on.
2. Fuel indicator blinking showing no fuel
-Then i decided to use jumper to start my viva with another car. Finally it was started, i drove to town n back ..battery and fuel indicator are off.
This morning, i drove out again..then couldnt start again with the same problem after i park at somewhere. Fyi weather is rather cold nowadays..then i called up my friend to use jumper to start again..yes it is started again
May i know is that my battery ‘s problem  or alternator? My car bought on 28jan 2010. The battery life so short only? I got asked foreman check my battery with voltmeter, it showed only 10v+ he said normally is 12v n my battery need to recharge..is this going to solve my problem?How to check whether is battery problem or my alternator problem? Seriously need help on this.

based on my experience and my other friends experience.. our viva factory fitted batt only last (1year and 3-4 months).. mine gone kaput right after 1year 3months and same goes to my friend.. sweat.gif

since that ive changed to free maintance batt.. 2 years and still rooling.. thumbup.gif

regards to your issue it could be a batt issue.. if alternator kaput.. power steering goes out..you need strong arms to take turns.. aircond doesnt work.. less power on the engine.. (ive experience once with my previous car)

correct me if i am wrong..

i have a question about Viva 660cc and 1.0, is it 660cc is easier break down or the engine will damage faster than 1.0?

or the different is just cc and power?

i really dun know about car except driving. i think to get a small car for work. i dun speed, one long-distance drive per month, everyday work.

Coz my parent said 1.0cc is better than 660cc because of the question i asked.


Added on December 23, 2011, 5:19 pmok, after read previous post, i already have some ideal, i think 850 is better for me...for me i think fc is the most important thing....i even think to install the NGV....wahaha~

By the way anyone install NGV on this little Viva...? if install NGV can give me any PRO and CON?

Guys, viva spark plug (OEM) can last how many km ah? I want to compare price/distance between the Denso Iridium spark plug.

And btw, Denso Iridium spark plug can last how many km? I saw some seller claim 50k and 80k. Confused.
