At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed an alternator replacement for a Ford Fiesta in Dubai. Our expert technicians conducted a comprehensive inspection and identified several issues that were affecting the vehicle’s electrical system. Here’s a summary of our findings and the solutions we provided.
Identified Issues:
- Faulty Alternator:
- Problem: The original alternator was not generating sufficient power, leading to battery drain and electrical malfunctions.
- Solution: We replaced the faulty alternator with a high-quality OEM unit to ensure reliable power generation and restore the vehicle’s electrical functions.
- Worn Drive Belt:
- Problem: The drive belt was frayed and showed signs of wear, which could lead to alternator failure and engine noise.
- Solution: We replaced the worn drive belt to ensure proper tension and functionality, preventing future issues with the alternator.
- Corroded Electrical Connections:
- Problem: There were corroded connections at the alternator terminals, causing intermittent power issues.
- Solution: We cleaned and secured all electrical connections to ensure reliable contact and optimal performance of the new alternator.
- Battery Condition:
- Problem: The battery was found to be weak and unable to hold a charge, which can affect the new alternator’s performance.
- Solution: We performed a battery test and recommended a battery replacement to ensure it works efficiently with the new alternator.
- Fusible Link Issues:
- Problem: A damaged fusible link was discovered, which could cause electrical failures in the system.
- Solution: We replaced the damaged fusible link to protect the electrical system and ensure safe operation.
