Really Strange Problem With My Vlaver Help

[krozor]

Hi all

My Valver Battery light comes on 100% when my car goes 3000+ rpm, I had a mechanic take a look and he used some testing thing to check my Altenator which reported back fine, and then checked my belt which was tight, so he said i should change the battery which i did and its still doing it arhh please can anyone help this is my only mode of transport

It's either dodgy wiring to the alternator or the alternotor itself.

Get it checked out by someone else.....

 

[BRUN]

its usually the opposite way around if its the alternator, as in you can sometimes get it to go out if you rev it

Definitely go for the second opinion!

Regulator on the alternator is knackered.

shame, this problem sounds far too familiar with my valver at the mo. what's the cost of sorting your alternator out?

 

[Matbrown]

£80 for the alternator from GSF and 2 hours to change it.



Mat.

 

[White16valver]

So that's another £80...

lol

 

[Matbrown]

Not if you do it yourself.

(oops)

 

[Rich1.2]

sort out your mechanical skill then and save £80 and spend 3 hours

But you don't have the problem with your alternator......:S

 

[White16valver]

But I want an uprated one so technically speaking I do... lol

why? the valver alternators are around 65-70 amp iirc

I had that problem in my valver coz the plastic bit which secures your wires down on the positive side of the battery kept cominig loose...dont know if this helps.

I presume that they're designed for standard cars running all the gadgets at the same time, but when you've got a radar detector and a half decent stereo going, along with uprated bulbs and having to put the fan on as it's so bloody cold, it does tend to suck a lot of power!

I'd rather have some in reserve! lol
