Just want to find out did anyone have their alternator replace? Mine is giving me a whining sound and my neighbourhood mechanic said that it is the alternator problem. Quoted me around RM1500 for new alternator including labour. But no warranty. Btw, my rondo is about 3 years and 2 months clocking 77900km.
Thank you.

That sounds quite steep and without warranty some more. I would suggest you go to your regular car battery shop to check if the alternator got any problem and get quote as well. Recon unit normally at least got 2 week warranty let alone new one. if really got problem, do check with your regular autorised kianaza service centers for a quote. Without warranty for that price tag is quite a risk, unless you mechanic can give you free labour service or some sort if the part he offered encounter problem. Just to share.
Cheers

The bearing cost only RM45. Bearing number is : NSK 30BD522DUM6.
I also replaced the belt although the condition is still good. Price is RM90 (same like SONATA NF).
Last year, a bearing on power steering also make a loud sound. Also fixed in my kampong. Bearing code is also the same type with Proton Saga ( easy to get).Costing only RM 18.
To buckeyes: whining sound normally coming from a bearing. Check with a few shops is it possible to replace only the alternator bearing.
