Replaced battery and now seems fine. The on dash voltmeter reads above 13V
The mechanic said when he tested it that his instrument showed that the needle was going a little back and forth. he told me that the battery wasn't holding a full charge.
----
my question is that isn't it normal for the needle to move around a bit as long as it stays above 13V. I spent 120.00 on the battery and cant afford 240.00 plus for an alternator. I said how long can the car last and he says I don't know that answer. Since the cra is working now and the voltmeter reads 13V and more isn't this ok????Question about whether to change/rebuild alternator?
perfectly normalQuestion about whether to change/rebuild alternator?
Well the 1st thing you pay too much for you parts. A used alternator is just as good for like $30Question about whether to change/rebuild alternator?
Sounds_like a voltage regulator on the alternator,sooo..you'll replace the alternator if required by a another shop for less and IF the regulator is easy to get to,it'll be fast and cheaper.Thats it
