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

Nobody replaces carbon bushes for radiator fan motors here,
not even wiremen, I believe.

You could look for a generic one like those Taiwanese ones,
probably won't cost more than $100.
The ones for the Proton Saga are about $60.

Yup, got my car starter fixed last Saturday.
Thanks

Replaced before on my older audi when the 2-speed radiator fan only spin slowly after push by hand, took the wireman a few hours to complete it.
But... it only lasts for few days then jammed. So ended-up trade-in the fan with new 1, the wireman deduct back the labour charges... Process is too delicate as radiator fan's carbon brush etc are more smaller...

thats one honest wireman seriously.
people like this are slowly but surely dying in this world.sad thing

anyone know if there's such shop in jb?

I'm looking to replace my savvy alternator and starter, although it is still working well.
But been using for 10 years..

If not, can I have this 'uncle' number?

Guys,

My car had suffered a horrible "alternator death" yesterday and, after reading about Kwong Weng here, went to them for repairs. My alternator is too busted to be repaired and luckily, they have a "new" (I believe these are refurbished parts, made new) alternator in stock, so I had saved a bunch of money. Earlier on I went to another shop who had quoted RM 950+ for refurbished alternator, and RM 1400+ for a new, albeit not original part. Kwong Weng quoted me RM 400++ all in.

It is true that these guys are experienced people, and so far seems honest to me. A big thanks to the TS who started this thread, otherwise we would not have known of these fellas.

After speaking to the nice aunty, she mentioned that they are also doing air con compressor repairs and power windows mechanism repairs.

Also, by next year they would be shifting to Kepong, due to the MRT taking over their current site. Their new address is as follows:

KWONG WENG ELECTRICAL TRADING CO.
65, JALAN METRO PERDANA TIMUR 7
KEPONG ENTREPRENEURS PARK
7th MILE, JALAN KEPONG
52100 KL

HP 012 2913346.

Thanks for the update and details. Nice to know they do repair/refurbish aircon compressor too.

repair not so good..

better get a brand new 1 to avoid any inconvenience in future

Hi Bro,

Is your car a BMW ?

My story, but not done in this Kwong Weng.

My alternator is Valeo brand, new original Valeo is quoted rm1250 & workmanship to fix it is rm50, just a 30min job. Not Auto Bavaria obviously.

I was given an alternative , fix a Recond Valeo [ same model with mine & the Wireman have stock on hand ] , paid rm650 which includes a 2 mth warranty . This Recond unit was refurbished by Shiling Enterprise , local company.

I was told that my "old"  alternator Voltage Regulator behaved strangely & that if I am able to source for that part he will help me to replace/repair my "old" Valeo for rm60 , need grinding of the soldering.

My question is does KW stock the Voltage Regulator for this Valeo brand  [ layman terms Alternator's Electronic ]  I want to redo this alternator as a spare.

BMW supply Bosch & Valeo brand alternator to all their vehicles.

I read earlier post that a Vios ori alternator cost rm2800 whereas a BMW Valeo cost only rm1250, [ Bosch about rm2000 ] , is it not Japs parts are much cheaper ?

Hi Bro,

can try this shop..

Nope, am driving a Chevrolet instead. The original alternator is made by Delphi. But some GM marques uses Valeo too..especially Vauxhall and Opel.

I would suggest you to visit them and ask them whether they could accommodate your request. Or just call them up beforehand.

What I heard from hearsay is that the local distributors of jap cars had jacked up the prices of the original prices. Had never owned a jap car before so don't have any personal experiences.

This shop in Johor Jaya can repair alternator ?  My wife's car has some noise upon cold start up, I guess it's from alternator

Hi

Cold start up noise ? after warm up does alternator still making the noise. Basically,  they just do repair on alternator and starter, if you are certain that the noise is from alternator, then they are able to refurbish the alternator by changing new bearing and carbon brush.

This shop is in Taman Melodis btw. Not in johor jaya.
