Hi all, my little s reg a3 1.8t sport has been very reliable, however today it got me 15 miles on the dual carriage way and to work, went to start up and was only just barely turning over. Bumped off ok and got me three miles to my office where it died. On the way to the office I had a battery light and abs light came on.
Bumped off again at the office but only got me couple of hundred yards. Now completely dead.
I have noticed over the past couple of months that even after daily use, it'll some times be a bit steady starting up like it's almost not going to start.
I'm suspecting that my alternator has slowly been dying and has finally packed up. Don't know if it's related but my stereo has also begun cutting out whilst engine running above a certain volume level
Any thoughts or experiences appreciated
