Flooded Alternator

[ClaNker]

a mechanic advice me to have the alternator and starter check and clean. he told me not to wait until something happen. mas malaki daw ang gastos. maganda daw yung stock alternator and starter ko. he said its ok for now, pero pag natuyo na ang tubig at kalawang, dun na magkakaroon ng problem.
tama ba siya?

Yes tama ang mechanic mo.

i went to this auto electrical shop. ask them to check the starter and alternator.
true enough, the starter has lots of rust inside and parts are grounded. i was told that its just a matter of time before it starts to degrade.
the alternator needs cleaning. meron parang white powder inside. i was told that it is a sign of flooded alternator.
total damage is P2.3K.
