Hi gents,Had some issues with the battery running down recently. With the car running I'm getting 12-13v across the terminals so presumably the alternator is on it's way out. Is there anything else I should check before chucking a new one in (£175 exchange for the Bosch one!) Cheers ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ |

Yes check the terminals are tight. Then unbolt the earth wires and clean everything up. You can check the earths are good by connecting a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to the engine/gearbox case then measure the voltage again. Might be worth checking the draw across the different earths too. Seem to get a lot of earthing issues in 306s now they are getting older ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
