Hey Folks,
I don't get to use my car much and the last couple of times have had to charge the battery up - over the weekend I put the battery back in the car and went off for a bit of a drive - within an hour the battery warning light came on and then slowly the dash lit up like a Xmas tree - ESP light, ABS etc. I managed to get home but then could not start the car again before re-charging the battery - the car starts and drives fine when it is charged so I assume that the alternator is not charging the battery - unless anyone can offer any other suggestions?
Could anyone tell me the correct part no. for the alternator on a 2001 S3 (AMK Engine) - I have looked on GSF/Euro Car Parts but there are 8 or 9 different ones and I don't know which is the right one!
Thanks,
Jon
