Question on maintenance

[box_type]

Sir i am not saying that the alternator is not charging. What I'm saying is, at idle RPM, the current drawn by the aircon system (evaporator blower, condenser blower) is a little bit more than the current produced by the alternator. So I'm not sure if there's charging involved. The lower the rpm the lower the charging capability of the alternator.

if your alternator has a 60 ampere rating it will produce 60 amperes of current wether you're idling or not, imho 60 amperes is more than enough to supply all your (stock accesories) electrical needs...

The alternator is designed to give enough power at specified idle speed say 900rpm.. lower rpm say 600rpm then alternator charging will cut out

Isn't 600rpm too low? The engine will likely stall at that speed, not to mention the harsh vibrations.

w baka fuel filter or throttle body lol.

Sa gas engine.. maybe too low na yan 600rpm.. pero sa conventional diesel hindi pa mag stall yan pero yung alternator pwedeng mag cut out na..

Kaya may IC regulator yung alternator..

Now this is something new to me... I never knew this because whenever:

1. I rev my engine, the ammeter gives a higher reading

2. I test the alternator coming from a repair, the alternator technician places the alternator in a test bench and shows to me the capacity of the alternator but above 2,000k.

an ammeter in the car will settle the question of whether a 60 amp alternator will alternate to deliver full 60 amps at idling,
or whether the engine has to be revved for the alternator to produce that much oomph.
alas, gauge meters have been largely replaced by idiot warning lights.

i do not know about today's modern cars, but if memory serves,
i remember noticing in our old aftermarket-ammeter-equipped car, that one has to rev the engine a bit, for the alternator to deliver higher amperes.

That was also my understanding... Because the principle behind it is a generator or a induction motor.

Hi mga sir sorry for the noob question but I just want to ask if anong papers ang kailangan dalhin sa casa to avail the free pms? do I need to bring the service booklet? If wala ba yun hindi free ang pms? thanks

Dalhin mo lang sir ang service booklet mo sir. Better kung makapunta early para wala pang pila.

bring your service booklet, and a xerox of your OR CR.
bring also your car. heh heh.
make a phone-in appointment, to avoid waiting long.
arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment time. they will usually tell you this. follow it, because your slot might be given to someone else, if you don't come reasonably on time.
harden your heart, so's you not get swayed by sales talk and consequent additional payment.
bring something to do. you might not like the program on the monitor.
bring money and/or your credit card, for "the un-foreseen".
good luck.

Hi all,

Planning to have my 90K PMS done outside CASA(probably either SpeedyFix or Motech) next week.
I will bring my own engine oil and mazda oil filter.
Aside from the usual change oil, anything need to check? Should I ask for Multipoint inspection and have them check the brake fluid?
How about brake cleaning?

Air filter and aircon filter are still good since I just replaced it last April 2019.

Car is 2015 Mazda 3 2.0.


Thanks in advance!

Check mo sa manual...minsan naka lagay dyan yung items needed to check for the pms

Thanks sir!

Upon checking sa manual need ko pala i-replace brake fluid.

Any recommended brake fluid and ilan liters/ml need for complete brake flush?

Ok lang ba magpalit ng brake fluid brand from Mazda brake fluid to other brand?


Thanks in advance!
