Alternator Repair

[cokezero]

Pina ayos ko today yung alternator ng crosswind namin.. since hindi nag ccharge at dndrain yung battery nung kotse.
sabi nung mekaniko kelangan daw irewind yung coil at palitan yung IC. tapos yung carbon brush hindi na pantay eh okay lang ba yun?

anyway sabi niya 6pm today pa namin makukuha ulit yung kotse.. kasi iniwan lang namin sa shop nila para daw matesting nila mmya..
3k yung singil lahat na..

[uls]

bakit di ka bumili ng bago?

konting dagdag lang sa 3k bago na

[cokezero]

hindi ba surplus lang yung 3k?

ewan ko nanay ko naman nag bayad kasi oto niya yun ) tska kakilala niya yung mekaniko pero ang taas pa rin nung bayad -_-
sir matagal ba talaga mag pa rewind?

[uls]

maybe half a day

well-stocked shops have replacement parts and windings for the more popular brands. it takes only an hour or two, for the turn-around time, depending on how fast the worker moves and how many workers there are. but it takes significantly more time if the guy has to run out the back door and scoot over to the parts shop to get his replacements.. and it would take much more time if they were to rewind from scratch..
based on what you said, yung housing na lang yata ang hindi pinalitan... heh heh. i agree, a surplus unit might have been the more attractive choice, but hey! at least now, your starter is practically re-manufactured..

3K does sound surplus...

the problem with your thread is that there was no mention of on car test, no mention of bench test of the alternator. people tend to go to extremes immediately. a common filipino trait. we, as a people like to go to extremes, e.g. "pinaka", mega star (not even michael jackson when he was alive was not considered mega star despite of his worldwide fame). the "mechanic" should have done test first before condemning the alternator. the most common parts to malfunction in an alternator are worn out brushes, worn or coated slip rings, defective voltage regulator and defective bearings or worn out belt. what happened to your alternator might only be worn out brushes or poor electrical contact between brushes and the slip rings. look for a competent auto electrician, remember, not all things in a car are mechanical. most components in today's cars are beyond comprehension of these "mechanics"

kung 3k surplus.... magkano ba price ng isang original alternator?

tnest lang yung voltage reading sa battery before ayusin.. so hindi nga kumakarga kaya pinababa na yung alternator. namatay din yung auto kahapon eh akala namin battery kaya pinalitan din namin battery.. before kasi mamatay humina lahat (aircon/headlight/radio)..

anyway okay na yung kotse.. pinalitan ng surplus alternator

did your defective alternator have any trade-in value?
