It’s your car’s “power hub”! Converts engine mechanical energy into electrical energy—critical for powering the AC system and recharging the car battery. No alternator = dead battery + AC that won’t cool 😱
Top 3 Signs Your AC Alternator Needs Check
- ⚡ AC blows warm air suddenly (no power to AC compressor)
- 🔋 Battery warning light stays on (can’t recharge battery)
- 🔊 Strange grinding noises (worn bearings inside)
Quick Maintenance Tips
- ✅ Check belt tension every 6 months (loose belts = inefficient power)
- 🧹 Keep it clean—dust/dirt in engine bay can overheat the alternator
- 🛒 Choose quality replacements (e.g., China-made options for Perodua/Honda models: good fit + budget-friendly!)
Don’t wait till it breaks—small checks save big repair bills later! 💸
