Battery light came on yesterday on my 2001 S3 and after getting car home, battery is now dead.
Scanned for any codes and came up with 16946, system voltage too low. Tested across the battery terminals (before it died) and was seeing about 9.4v - this says alternator to me but wondered if could be the battery instead/as well as?
Anyone got any helpful advice/handy hints about swapping the alternator to make life easy? Obviously I'll change the aux belt at the same time, anything else worth doing?
Thanks in advance
