FiQ150db Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 The alt im running cuts out on me intermittently. Will be fine one second then with no load (audio) it cuts out and im running on pure battery power. Does it with no warning and goes straight from 14v+ to 12.7v. Stays out for random amounts of time, the longest being 20 mins. So far I have been told its due to belt slip. I am running a 6 toothed belt and when playing hard with 10kw when the alt decides to work, my voltage doesnt drop below 13.3-4v. That leaves me to suspect it isn't belt slip. Today I turned the car on and alt isnt out putting any voltage. Checked all wires, jiggled a few - still nothing. 30 mins of driving later - still nothing. Opinions ? (Note: I haven't named the manufacturers as this is a ongoing situation, I dont see the need to bad mouth someone for no reason hence the anonimity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiQ150db Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Car is a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S, Alt is a Ford 6G 270a unit. No modules of any sort. The alt worked fine for the first few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 20 mins is kinda confusing? My car will sometimes drop down into the mid 12s until I turn on my lights or put my system up near full tilt then the alt kicks on after about 5-10 secs and im back up to the mid 14s, but if my system is not on there is not much needed for the alt to charge since there is almost no electrical devises in there.

FiQ150db Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Its not Mechman but its apparantly Manufactured by them. Is that a major factor in this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob_On_Droid Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Powermaster! Is there any soot like residue on the case of the alt around the pulley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Kinda sounds like what my car was doing.. Not lasting 20 minutes, but at times I'd drop down to mid-12's and get this terrrrible belt squeal. Then my alt blew up on me.

FiQ150db Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 No belt squeal at all. Will look for soot like residue around the casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
