Lo Guys,

Hope all are well I have noticed a red light on the dash by the battery signal. I am just wondering are there any vw manuals explaining the lights on the dash as I don't have one? I would imagine the battery is on its way out as it is a slow starter sometimes and have seen many threads on here how to test, so no worries there

Take care,

Jamie

that usually means that tthe alternator is not charging, you'll have to get a volt meter and test accross the battery with the engine running, if it is more than 13v the alt is charging but it could just have a worn charge indicator connection!

might just need a good clean and refit type effort!

nice one fella, will dig out the multimeter Not sure where she put it, I always blame her when I can't find things

would be pretty cool anyway to have a copy of the manual that describes the dash lights and probable causes, haynes doesn't seem to list unless I am being a dumb ass
