The car is a 2017 2.0TFSI 190 with 11,500 on the clock.
What would you expect the alternator's output voltage at idle to be after a cold start, and are there any normal circumstances under which it might vary?
Measuring at the battery - which may well not be holding charge as it should - I got 12.54V this morning
That seems pretty low.
The other day I got 13.33V, which would appear to be a bit more like it, but why might it be different this time?
Thanks
Pete
P.S. It's going in for an investigation next week, but I'm trying to get my head round what might be occurring out of curiosity.
P.P.S. While I appreciate its limitations, I'm not getting any faults on the full version of Carista.
