Cost almost as much a brand new toyota hybrid battery but does nothing even close to it. I'm bit lost. Oh OK googled it. Damn 1.8k replacement to so called improve emissions. If u disable stop start, will this capacitor spoil? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster72 Clutched July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 My 2014 Mazda 3 engine light lighted up, car jerking when stopped, I-stop orange light flashing when I sudden accelerate. When to a workshop at sin Ming was told that my capacitor spoiled , quoted $2k. Saw at Carousell, used capacitor at $980 anyone try before? Any recommendation . Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 (edited) What do the European stop start systems use? No capacitor right? Cos I don't recall Honda or Toyota having stop start except those with real hybrid systems. Edited July 14, 2022 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistral 1st Gear July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 This is the i-ELOOP capacitor, typically recharged by regenerative braking and is used to power electrical devices and accessories such as the HVAC, audio system and headlights in order to reduce fuel consumption. I think the car can still be driven normally even if the capacitor starts to fail, because the capacitor itself is not the primary source of electrical energy to power the electrical components of the car. The fuel saved is not significant in my opinion to warrant a purchase of a new capacitor. My Mazda 6 is almost 7 years, so it may be due for the capacitor to fail. The i-stop, which is Mazda's name for their start-stop system, is separate from i-ELOOP as it utilises the car battery itself. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I don't recall Honda or Toyota having stop start except those with real hybrid systems. Conti SSS uses the AGM type battery designed to handle the unique characteristics of SS. There is no separate capacitor or battery just for SSS. Mazda i-eloop is mainly about recouping energy from braking and to offload the alternator and potentially help with mazda SSS (if they have) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raychay 6th Gear July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 Just curious, Mazda using this system can save a lot of fuel? Cos I don't hear Mazda owners say their car is very fuel efficient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better stick with conti....just saying Capacitor will spoil one. You know Seiko Kinetic watch? No battery but got capacitor to store the energy after you moved you hand. After a certain number of years, have to change and it’s not cheap. A battery is much cheaper. 🤣 ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
