    Hi fellow tsikoteers, i have a 2009 hyundai getz, now this specific car of mine has come accross a myriad or problems, the most recent having difficulty when starting the car, at first I thought it was the type of battery i bought (brand:3K) so I went back to the shop i bought it from and had it recharged, 3 days later the battery completely drained again, so I had it checked, again, another mechanic said that the problem is the IC of the alternator, so my question is, if the IC is having an issue, what is tje best course of action? Have the IC replaced or the whole alternator? . And 2nd question is, I dont have much experience in regard to shopping for an alternator, a shop is selling me one brand new for P10800, wud u consider that a fair price or am I being ripped off?

    Ang i.c. pwede pa mapalitan ng bago at ok uli yan. No need to get a new alternator in my experience. Punta ka sa yock's elecrtrical shop along edsa near crame at kayang kaya nila yan ayusin. Just google them for their contact nos. And exact location

    to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

    Hi, thanks sa reply, unfortunately im not in that area, im from Bacolod so my only options are either casa or auto shops, cheapest brand new I could canvass so far was 10,800 Im wondering if thats a good enough price for an alternator?

    On a side note, Im planning to buy one of those BOSCO jump start power bank from Robinsons Handyman, costs P5500, anybody ever tried using this? any feedback? bad or good?

    kung may charging problem, dapat umilaw yong RED BATTERY icon sa instrument panel... pag wala, parasitic load yan, google mo youtube pano hanapin ang parasitic load

    Na pa check ko na po, they noticed the charge output from the alternator only goes around mga 9-10, and they say dapat at least 13-14, when I turn on the key the battery light appears but dissappears after I turn on the car, they already told me na alternator ang issue, one shop is selling me one brand new for P10800 only, so im wondering if ok yan na price for an alternator?jj
