Many years back a shop at Defu Industrial Park replaced alternator (worn bearings) in my car with another Hitachi brand. Stock was Mitsubishi.

Your mech is still using the 60s technique :D He should use this simple mechanics stethoscope which in actual fact is already replaced 10yrs ago by electronic sound detecting device with headphone. Time for him to upgrade and improve his productivity.post-272-1333200935_thumb.jpg

What's the different between repair and re-cond ? :D

Repair is where need repair..they will only repair that area.....recon mean they will do full overhaul...

If your alternator is starting to give problems...get it fix quickly..a faulty alternator can potentially leave your car stalling on the road.

HI TS, rush is sharing the same engine as malaysia avanza, myvi 1.5 and alza. So should be using the same alternator, if you are familar with the malaysia, they can easily just overhaul/change the bearings and the carbon brush on ur alternator for you, cost around 50 to 100 rm. i got one spare part shop you might want to see if they had recon alternator. Tiong bee Auto 63365008.

Best is you bring down your original alternator and show it to them and

they can recommend you something that will fit.

 

BTW I have another alternator that I bought wrongly and doesn't fit my vehicle.

Its just a paperweight at the moment.

If it fits your car I can let it go cheap.

Here are pics of the spare i have laying around for your reference

in case you are interested. It has an "LS" type connection.

Just changed my Altis 1.6 alternator, fan belt, and belt tensioner at Stamford Tyres. $900 including labour. :(

 

Is that a decent price or did I just get ripped off?

 

Also, I'll need to change 2 tyres. They quoted me $88 each. Not sure what brand/model yet. Should I go for it?
