harrys Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 i thought so and yes they do look pretty well worn and a little loose. So far I have had no problems with my car starting or stopping. Does this mean i might start having some soon? Should i look into it or ask a mechanic? i wana be among the lucky ones who fix a problem before they happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisham Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hi Harry, with little overtime this problem happen and only solution is to open the terminal again and clean it properly with sand paper and bolt them again tightly. Due to acidic discharge overtime these metal terminal loose there metallic properties and get expanded with time. While re fixing if bolt is fully tight and still terminal is loose (quite possible) then you need new terminal itself. You can go to any battery shops in Deira or Satwa area in Dubai or Industrial area in Sharjah and get those terminal changed. It might cost 10-20 dhs for each terminal, but it will save lot of hassle if it get loosen up and stop charging your car battery. I changed mine six months back from Satwa -City Knight shop near Morjana plaza (04 3447470). Hope it helps. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
