Get Bosch C3 or C7, i have 4 cars at home, forklift, all used it, damn worth it for RM220. If hard to start hopefully its just not enough electrical power la

The problem is I drove it everyday, every morning I start It juz cannot start. I need to wait until hot afternoon it only will start. Last time send to mechanic also the same problem but after checking all the wiring all ok,nothing wrong.

Have you tried different ways of starting the car? Meaning like my VR, I start without stepping on the accelerator, but once it ignites, then I dab the accelerator. Like my Hyundai i step slightly on the accelerator, then start.....

eh.. same here. I don't leave it in the car though, very scared it'll explode from the heat.

I've had this problem before - turned out it was just bad battery connectors and dirty terminals. After I cleaned out the battery terminals and replaced the connectors with new ones all problems solved.

couple of things to check, see if the terminals are loose enough to move without any tools - if yes, then tighten them. Check to see if the contact is corroded or just worn flat or black or something weird looking.

If not remove the connector, use some sand paper to clean the contact points on the connector and the battery itself. Make sure there's no big black patches (oxidation) or weird coloured parts or something.

Thi isn't my picture but mine was very similar to this. Also the contact points inside the connector itself was browning copper coloured. o I just changed the whole thing.
 

Random Post Every 5 Minutes

I was browsing through the Pivot website earlier today and as I was
looking @ the Stepping Gauge section, I got curious about something.

1) Why is there a need to install such a meter in a car? The car already
comes with a RPM meter. What difference does this Pivot meter make? Why
do cars need to install things like Boost Meter, Speed Meter, Tachometer
and Shift Lamps?


2) Are such lamps only installed for Manual Transmission cars? or do
people actually install in on...
