This is what happen when VS fails

[meg_omen]

yup, its leaking... this is why I've post in the '2VS thread' to monitor it closely...
mine is Zaptor, not Pivot and happen after around 3yr of usage...
no matter what's the brand, capacitor has its lifecycle...:hmmmm:
for my case worst coz its a modded car, my mech from Salak South has to save me:-
- once at home in Klang
- once at RnR Bukit Merah

lesson learned; never use VS but instead put more grounding wires...
good luck!:wavey:

What happened to your car when you VS failed?
I though the fuse inside the VS should blow when capacitors burst? But how come that was not the case?

 

[meg_omen]

the car dies while driving...
cannot start again after pulling to the roadside...
even after changing distributor, starter, fuel pump, plug & cables etc...

after twice being saved, with the last being close to 300km away...
i just take out the VS... the problem stop occurring...
so i've concluded not to use VS anymore...

That's the exact same thing happened to me

Surely, appreciate if you can help to test out the faulty vs. How can i pass to you bro?

Possible. But original vs has rubber coating on the pcb, is short circuit possible?

Excellent! An ori MegaRaizin to muck around with. Hmm.. you the type to go yum char? I've seen your ghost stories and I'm just scared to be around you. LOL

Hahaha, don't be scared mate. Worst you get is get to see 'it' only. Back to topic, we can meet up yamcha, preferably after 10.

Perhaps this Friday if not then next ok?

Very unfortunate. While I was driving home after work today, my car started to lose electrical power and engine died slowly on the way. This time without the VS. wth???? I have never seen this before. The fortunate thing is the car was managed to crawl back home but I had to push it into the parking bay. May I know if the battery or alternator KO, would a running engine lose power and die?

Could it be other faulty electronic items that caused this? Since problem occurs without vs. Capacitors don't usually burst n leak like this...

Check with a multimeter whether your battery has any voltage left? If not it's 100% confirmed your alternator needs replacing.

''wah! sakit sudah berjangkit.."
as Izso said highest possibility is the altenator is causing it...:hmmmm:
but then again... while driving...

While driving the alternator is the one that's giving the power. If it's failing the electronics will run off the battery until the battery completely drains.

(perhaps shorted VS affecting the alternator circuit as well)
