A2OC Donor
Hello Not been on a great deal of late for many reasons, but 1 of which is in not using the A2 as much as I was.
Anyway I'm looking for suggestions please on what options I have with what appears on the have of it to be an alternator issue on a tdi90.
2 years ago I replaced my factory alternator with s refurbished unit due to a perceived voltage issue related an ASV issue. Turns out that there was likely nothing wrong with it but it had to be returned to the seller as it was a refurb / send back old service.
Due to the car sitting I was having start issues and I'm hooking up a trickle charger with great success. Kinda tells me that its likely not the battery...Issue is the battery is dropping even during a journey. Naturally I'm suspecting the barely used alternator had given up the ghost but could it be anything else like earthing?
If anyone has a working 140a alternator they might pay with I'd also be interested!
