i went to check my alternator the other day, the voltage is 13+ he say is working, no charge for this

then wanna leave time remember my meter light not working at times, i let a few shops check d but still not working sometimes

he took off the meter, check the ic board and did some soldering, since then it's working fine

rm15 damage

Extremely displeased with the way the boss talks.

Was having a parasitic draw issue. Running voltage was 13+. Usually was 14. The boss say I sinkalan. Went home and fixed the problem myself. Running at 14v again. According to him 14 is "too high". Yeah right my 3 VWs, Subaru, 2 saga all running at 14. He said 14 battery will boil over. I've been fixing my own car for years and AFAIK 15v then yes it's too much. Lousy knowledge and service. Won't be back.

The safe voltage is between 13.5 to 14.2. Above or below isn't good. I guess the boss a bit skl this time but I guess he is trying to play it safe by not going above 14.

IMO, the voltage deends on the charging system and battery used in the car, as determined by the car manufacturer.

silver-calcium battery requires higher charging voltage, up to 14.8v to charge well. even calcium-calcium batteries, much vouched by forummers here require 14.4v to charge well. anything lower and you get short battery life as experienced by most.

however the boss was not all wrong either, maybe he was assuming his clientele is mostly on normal lead acid batts.

what was your parasitic draw issue?

YEAH, we are more interested on this issue & how you managed to solve it .

Electrical gremlins ? my car is having this issue now & again and still not able to find out the cause of it !!!

Thanks for this information, my alternator already start whirling sound but so far still give 13 to 14+ volt when running.
Just want to confirm, is this shop still near Jalan Batu Kentomen or already moved to new location? Thank you so much.

bearing sound ?

they have moved to the new shop, read back & you will find the location

I'm not sure, I just hope not something I have to buy new one coz Hyundai parts are not cheap to buy

Thanks for the info

i wonder do they repair radiator fan motor and aircond compressor also?

Doesn't seems logical to me. Alternator working right will generate the right voltage instantly. There is no need to wait 2 days for ECU to relearn.

Anyway, do update us whether after 2 days the shakiness is gone or still there.

Bro, can inform what u did to repaired your problem? Tq

hello can you please share the contacts/address? Thank you
