any imported alternator from japan can fit on campro engine?

good info bro.. tq for sharing here..

Recently, my alternator seems charging weakly, so decided to pay them a visit. Quite inconspicuous but luckily Waze location shared by Maudermunty above is accurate

Initially tech there (chubby guy) diagnosed it as battery defect (new battery, less than 2mth). Ask me to claim a new battery from my dealer. But I insisted that he service my alternator for it has been untouched for 17yrs/350k km. He agreed and began work to unmount/disassemble my unit.

Turn out true to my suspicion that the carbon brushes were worn. Even the bearing is broken upon inspection. So he did the needful and voila... my car is happy again.

Work performed;
1. 2x carbon brush
2. 1x NTN japan bearing
3. Cleaning of parts/housing
4. Bench testing

Total charges RM90

Will monitor further if got any complication. But initial feel and test at home is the alternator has been rejuvenated.

Voltage measurement when engine bay is hot
When car was quite new 14.3v
Before servicing 13.9v
After servicing 14.2v

The voltage at 13.9 is quite ok... As normally charging voltage will fluctuate between 13.8 to 14.2v.

IMHO. Been to this shop to fix alternator. They asked me to leave the alternator there so they can 'slowly fix it', but I refuse as mine is original toyota/denso.

Waited there (~30minutes) as I didn't want anything done/taken without consent. Watched them fix it. Makes me wonder why they ask me to leave it there and come back after a few hours....

The price of their Panasonic car batteries are slightly higher (maybe RM30-50 higher than a spare part shop) and you can't take back your old battery (you can sell your old battery for some money).

Their testing of alternator is only limited to voltage (no current check). Overall, they can perform the job.

err guys, anyone know the shop's number? (or any way to contact them)
do i need to remove the alternator before heading over? or do they do keluarkan and pasang as well?

also, i am told, my alternator is a little different, it's a mivec 4 pin alternator, anyone know if they can deal with this alternator as well?

i think they can do any alternator, and yes they can dissemble and assemble back your alternator
on how to contact, i'm not sure..

haha thx thx, solved my issue... one of the -ve terminal nuts came loose so the resistance was super high, after bolting it back on 100% good mnow

Just went there to services my old wira alternator, the boss told me just replace the carbon only, the rest still working well. The repair cost only 50bucks.done within 2hours.

5 star services.

How old is your alternator?

Should be 3 to 5 years. Coz last time my alternator breakdown and i changed half cut. So i just bring my alternator to service to prevent it non function suddenly

Hi,
Just wondering if the shop is still at same location?
My car starter started to feel wonky.

Thanks

Klemann C still there

Yup, got my car starter fixed last Saturday.
Thanks

Any idea whether they do repair or service of radiator fan motor like changing of carbon brushes etc. Mine is an original Denso made in Japan motor which cost about RM280 new. Thanks

These people are all car WIREMEN. Not many around town,
compared to mechanics.

This wireman in Pudu, near Pudu Plaza area, whom I used
to go to from the 80s to 90s, has the entire machine whereby
they mount your alternator onto it, spins it and reads the
output current on an old fashioned meter. Very old machine really,
probably dating back from the 50s to 60s.

In the mid-80s, I bought a used altenator from the breaker yard shop
in Cheras, Soon Loi, for 60. Nippondenso, Japanese made in those days.

He installed it for $15.

I'm not sure whether he is still around there, or even still alive, but
if he is, would like to look for him again.

There wer two or three wiremen in that area. One was located
in the squatter houses right opposite Pudu Plaza.

If the guy is free, changing the bushes is actually a half hour job.
