Now then Gents (and Ladies). Something electrically strange is going on!!!
Kindly help with my diagnosis.
Every now and then, from cold, I'll set off in 1st, get to 10-15 mph (and the whole electrical system) ie: Headlights, Dash lights, Radio, will "blink" radio goes off / comes back on... One light may go out (until turned off/ back on to reset) and on the odd occasion, even connect 4 on the dash. Like it's shorts!!??
Turn the car off / back on again... No problems. No dash warning lights.
I'm thinking along the line of alternator is knackered as its not keeping volts up. Is there a distributor / regulator to "spread" electric around the car that's failing? It's had a new Bosch S4 / S5 battery in the last 12 months so I think its not that.
Car has done 110k. 2002 plate BAM. No access to VAGCOM. (I have free version though).
Gonna check the fuse relay on top of the battery for rust / corrosion.
Can anybody tell me which fuses to check in the drivers door? 11? 20 & 21?
Then have her tested across the battery and/or alternator & tidy up the terminals etc.
Then i'll be stuck!!!
HELPPPPPP!!
Thank you.
Joe
