Austarion

Hey guys, new problem with the staz :( Today i got into my car, turned on the ignition and the car started then died, some white "rubber smelling" smoke wafted out from under the bonnet. After a call to my no.1 nigga Flav it was determined that one of the green fuseable links under the air...

Chunkhead you dont know what the fuck your talking about, i bought my starion from flav and so did my mate and they are running fucking sick. He always helps us out when we have questions n' shit, he is no fraud. He is the starion master... bow down you fool.

Changed the alternator again (3rd time) + changed battery terminals to brass ones + fixed the ground wire to have better contact and it seems to be working. Charging at about 13.9V at the battery :D thanks for all your help guys, still dont know what caused me to go through 3 alternators but i suspe...

Your not worried about water getting into your engine bay when its raining?

Hey, ive got the same problem with my staz, i think it may be the cause of my dying alternators... I checked the resistance of the wire, then the resistance of the wire going to the metal thing and it was un-readable because it was too high. How did you go about fixing this problem? I tried to get s...

Hey Rola, Have you replaced the alternator with a Mitsubishi one or is it something else? If you're using something other than Mitsus one, then you may need to hook up a wire to "activate" the alternator - known in the trade as a "tickler". I'll tell you more about that if you n...

try tightening it, if there is a heap of tension on it and its still showing low volts might try a auto electrician. Will do, does anyone know of a good Autoelectrician in melbourne? Also do you think that an alarm could be whats blowing my alternators, because ive had nothing but trouble since i g...

The alternator finally blew and now is running off battery power,,, Same thing happend to mine twice. (dodgy regualtor was used by auto elecy). Car wont drive around for long on just battery power. Well if the altinators blown it lasted for less than one day as i just changed it. Could the wiring b...

Just pryed the altinator back a bit, belt it tight as. Its still producing under 12 volts (11.78V exactly) wtf is going on?

edit: left the car running for 5 mins and the battery is now producing 11.74V exactly.

Yep, belts not tight enough! You literally need to almost use a crowbar or a large Screwdriver and pry the alternater tight, then tighten the bolt on the sliding bar! Thanks mate, ill give that a try when its not raining, do you think its a good idea to spray the sliding bar with RP7 to make it eas...

Hey guys, i posted a topic before about how my alternator was producing 20V well i changed that one with a new one. After i installed the new one it was reading a sweet 14V when the car was on, took my car for a drive, noticed the indicators became solid and the radio was turning on and off so i wen...

well ive already got a replacement off my no.1 man flav. so i will be installing that tommorow :D

so i have to replace the whole altinator? or just the regulator?

Hey guys, just swaped over my altenator for a working one and i checked the voltage on it and its getting just under 20V (19.something) is this ok?

Cheers,

Rola
