QUOTE(WhiteWing @ Dec 19 2011, 12:23 AM) If you seldom refill battery water then the battery only last you 1 year + , never expect it last up to 2 years. Go change your battery.. I always refill the battery water, and do the car service as standard..anyway how long is your viva battery lasts?Added on December 19, 2011, 10:39 pm QUOTE(Aquariusdenz @ Dec 19 2011, 02:03 AM) Probably battery problem. Your air cond is actually not running. Whats running is the blower fan inside your car which need not a lot of power. radio also can operate on slightly lower voltage. The starter need higher power from your battery in order to start your engine, in your case, your battery dont have enough power to spin your starter to turn your engine, so it will just tick tick tick. just like an analogue clock with low battery sign. 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?This post has been edited by ixole: Dec 19 2011, 10:39 PM |

QUOTE(ilyas_jamal @ Dec 21 2011, 06:57 AM) yes we can!!!! what is maitance batt? btw what brand of battery is better n its price?  you will have a longer stroke... but your ride might be a bit stiffer.. "just like a nwe CRG chassis" Added on December 21, 2011, 7:00 am 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.. Added on December 21, 2011, 7:04 am dreadsic.. ur car too lowred ker..??  .. if ur using a elite version.. get the front diffuser..some thing like this. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sz6TtkaWdJM/TIOv...00/DSC03715.JPG i am planning to get one of these soon.. as i have the same issue like urs.. due my car is pretty lowred.. Added on December 21, 2011, 7:10 am 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..  since that ive changed to free maintance batt.. 2 years and still rooling..  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.. Added on December 21, 2011, 11:43 pm QUOTE(camel90 @ Dec 20 2011, 07:40 AM) To check Alternator is working or not : Hi .. how to disconnect the battery? u mean direct open the +ve and -ve terminals by using wrench to screw it out? kind of blur.. please adviceStart 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.
