Alternator voltages

[richieadkins]

Evening all,

I am having a few issues that I am hoping someone will be able to clear up for me.

1. I am getting a squeal when I rev the engine from cold
2. Whilst driving home today the battery warning light flickered on and off
3. Measured voltage at battery was 12.4V after I revved the engine for 5 secs the voltage at the battery was between 15.5 and 16.8 with no dash light

Thank you in advance for all your help

time for a new regulator mate
they only cost a tenner or so


....and the squeal is a worn or more likely a loose belt.
It should only move 1/2 inch either way when you move the longest run up and down

they only cost a tenner or so

unfortunately when I bought mine, the "so" bit was another tenner.........

Thanks all,

I have sorted the squeal and have a brush pack on order.

Cheers again Richie
