Alternator Workshop??

[morto]

hey everyone, i was driving around watsons bay, zipping though the streets and all of a sudden it comes up on my little display box "ALTERNATOR WORKSHOP". does anyone know what that means? its done it like a dozen times or so in the last month roughly. can anyone tell me what it means? bad, good??

it means its not charging the battery so your car will run till there is charge in your battery. The engine will just cut out once the battery is drained. Get it fixed asap

I needed to get my Alternator replaced. I got done for under $1500 but that was trade. Take it to an autoelectrican, dealers would have cost over $2k. Sometimes they can be fixed and that is only a couple hundreds. I would check all the cables and make sure its earthed.

I would ask Fhrx studios where the best place would be. Yes its a car audio shop but you may be able to get a bigger one at a cheaper price.

hey dude..

chances are its your battery thats ****ed and not the Alty! my GETEEEYE did that to me!

battery was faulty!

battery replaced the starter motor whirred away even faster

also the other thing that can cause it is a knackerd Ignition switch in the car! it can cause split second cuts of power that will cause the car to register ****ed alternator..

both of the above happend to me and neither time was the alternator!

I almost stalled my car once (tacho showed about >200rpm for a sec) and it said the same thing on the display It works fine though
