Starter, alternator and car battery Renault 19

Battery — General Information
A discharged battery disrupts the normal operation of the car. It does not allow the starter to turn normally, nor does it allow a spark of sufficient strength to form to start the car engine. At the same time, the glow...

Checking the electrolyte level in the battery
The battery electrolyte consists of sulfuric acid diluted with distilled water. Some of the water may evaporate or decompose during the battery charging process into hydrogen and oxygen. The Renault 19 has a...

Checking the battery discharge level
If the battery is very weak despite the correct electrolyte level, you should check its discharge level. You can use either a hydrometer or a voltmeter to check. The condition for a correct result during testing is that...

Removal and installation the battery
First, remove the ground (minus) wire from the battery to eliminate the possibility of a short circuit. 1. Carefully remove the engine hood seal from the front wall in the engine compartment. 2. Disassemble the plastic...

Charging the battery
Even if the battery is not in use, it must be charged periodically. It tends to discharge itself over time. Therefore, a removed battery, like the battery of a constantly used car, should be charged once a month....

Starting an engine with a discharged battery
Towing, free-rocking or pushing a vehicle with a catalytic converter should be done with extreme caution. If the engine does not start only because the battery is discharged, then this is not dangerous. Another matter...

Generator — design description
Valeo generator devices disassembled. The device of other generators is similar. 1 - V-belt drive pulley; 2 - fan; 3 - bearing cover on the drive side; 4 - stator winding; 5 - connecting bolt; 6 - rotor with slip rings;...

Voltage Regulator — Design Description
The faster the generator spins, the higher the voltage rises and with it the electric current produced, like a bicycle dynamo. The current consumers in a car cannot withstand such voltage surges up and down. Therefore,...

Checking the voltage regulator
Depending on the engine variant (the picture shows a type "C" engine), the V-belt should bend when pressed with a finger (shown by arrow) maximum 6 mm (on a warm engine), otherwise, it is necessary to adjust its tension...

Checking the V-belt tension
The V-belt rotates the coolant pump in addition to the generator on engines of the "C" and "F" type. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the control of the V-belt tension. If the belt slips, this can be...

Checking the condition of the V-belt
V-belt run on type "C" engine (1), type "F" engine with power steering (2), air conditioning (3) and additionally with power steering and air conditioning (4). The arrow in each figure indicates the location where the...

Removal the generator
1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Disconnect the multi-pin connector. 3. Engine type "C": loosen the tension bolt and the mounting bracket bolt. 4. Loosen the swivel support screw. 5. Tilt the generator and remove the...

Broken V-belt
If during a trip the red discharge indicator lamp suddenly lights up and you hear something in the engine compartment hitting metal several times hard, then most likely the V-belt has broken. Be sure to stop and check!...

Driving with a faulty alternator
If the generator or voltage regulator does not work, you can continue your trip, as the battery is temporarily sufficient for this. Gasoline engine: During the day, the battery current will last for some time, although...

Charging indicator light
The control lamp on the instrument panel has two positive contacts, namely, on one side, from terminal "1" of the generator (white wire) and, on the other hand, from terminal "A2" of the ignition switch relay (yellow...

Troubleshooting Battery and Generator
Battery and generator malfunction Its reason Troubleshooting A. The red charging indicator light does not light when the ignition is turned on. 1. The battery is discharged. 2. The wire is broken, there is no contact at...

Starter — design description
Starter Paris-Rhone disassembled 1 - magnetic switch with starting plug; 2 - magnetic switch housing with winding; 3 - bearing cover on the drive side; 4 - small gear drive mechanism with freewheel mechanism; 5 - anchor...

Removal and repairing the starter
Since a powerful diesel starter must develop significant torque, it is additionally equipped with a mount (3) in the cover on the collector side. The starter can only be checked for proper operation when removed. The...

Troubleshooting the starter
Starter Our table will not always be able to help you eliminate starter malfunctions. But you always have the opportunity to start the Renault 19 engine (with manual transmission), by asking someone to push the car or...
