Hi Guys.
Came out to car last night, failed to start. 09 plate 1.8tfsi with original battery.
Gave it a quick shove and it went no problems. 20 mins drive home, parked up, checked voltage @ cig lighter( it was raining....) 12.8v, but dropping fairly quickly.
ECP today, picked up a type100 bosch s4 for £70. Fitted with no issues, and drove home.
My question is this : Can any of you give me values for your own cars of charging voltage under full load, at tickover and say 2000rpm? I.e rear heated screen, fan on full, full beam and fogs on. Mine seems to dip down quite low, to around 13.2v. Tickover no load is around 14.1v
