Could dust, rainwater, o r poor engine bay sealing be damaging the Alsvin’s alternator in Pakistani driving environments?

Driving in dusty o r rainy areas like rural Punjab o r northern areas may expose the alternator. Is it adequately protected?

Yes. Alsvin’s engine bay sealing is minimal, and problems include:

Dust ingress in rural areas, especially Thar, D.G. Khan, o r southern Punjab

Alternator vents are exposed, allowing mud splash o r water intrusion during rains

No protective underbody cover for base trims
Lack of IP-rated alternators makes them prone to bearing and coil damage.
