Alternator Repair and Replacement in Melbourne: Keeping Your Vehicle Charged

The alternator is an essential component of your vehicle’s electrical system. It plays a crucial role in keeping your battery charged and powering various electrical components such as the lights, radio, and air conditioning. When the alternator malfunctions, it can lead to a host of issues that can disrupt your daily routine and potentially cause more significant problems.

Signs of Alternator Issues

There are a few common signs that may indicate your vehicle’s alternator is experiencing problems.

• Warning lights: The most apparent sign of an alternator issue is when the battery or check engine light illuminates on your dashboard.
• Dimming/flickering lights: If you notice that your headlights, interior lights, or other electrical components are dimming or flickering, it could be a sign of a failing alternator.
• Strange noises: A faulty alternator may produce grinding, whining, or squealing noises. These sounds can indicate that the bearings or belts within the alternator are wearing out.

It’s crucial to address these signs promptly to avoid getting stranded on the side of the road and potentially causing further damage to your vehicle.

Our Alternator Diagnostic Services

At Ace Tune, we offer comprehensive diagnostic services to accurately identify any issues with your alternator.

1. Cutting-Edge Alternator Testing: Our first diagnostic service involves a meticulous examination of your alternator’s performance. Using advanced testing equipment, our certified technicians measure key parameters such as voltage output, amperage, and overall charging capability. This comprehensive testing allows us to identify any irregularities in the alternator’s functionality, providing a precise diagnosis of its health.
2. Battery Health Assessment: A healthy alternator works hand-in-hand with a robust battery. Our second diagnostic service focuses on assessing the condition of your vehicle’s battery. We conduct a thorough examination of its voltage, capacity, and overall health. By analysing the battery’s ability to hold a charge, we can determine if the alternator is effectively replenishing its power. This dual approach ensures a holistic evaluation of your vehicle’s electrical system.
3. Belt and Tensioner Inspection: A properly functioning alternator relies on an efficiently operating belt and tensioner system. In our third diagnostic service, we inspect the alternator belt and tensioner for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. A loose or damaged belt can impede the alternator’s performance, affecting the entire electrical system. Our detailed inspection ensures that the belt and tensioner are in optimal condition, contributing to the seamless operation of your alternator.
