Hello members,
I have a proton wira made in year 2000, recently the alternator was dead and the mechanic changed a recon alternator for me.
the first alternator failed after 3 months, and he gets a warranty claim for me.
second alternator failed after 1 month, again warranty claim....
i changed 4 recon alternators in 6 months and I am bit tired so I bought a new alternator brand FOCUS. I thought this should be good but it failed after 6 months, luckily the warranty was 1 year so i claimed another new FOCUS alternator.
I then found that my battery was about to die too so I bought a new Yokohama NS70 instead of NS60.
I read in some articles saying that alternator shall produce 13.8 to 14.2V of power, when I measure mine, it produces 13.3V only.
I then start the car, turn on the aircond+radio+headlamp, and unplug the negative terminal of the battery... engine continues to run without dying...
I am wondering the alternator produces 13.3V instead of 13.8-14.2 is it because of the oversized NS70 ?
sometimes my digital clock seems to be a bit dim, sometimes it will come back bright enough...
Anyone has any clue ? Maybe the 2nd new Focus alternator also problem ?
