For f*cks sake, my Brava 1.4 -98 has been in for repairs 3 times now since I bough it less than a month ago. Since the garage can't seem to fix the prob I thought I'd ask here.
Problem is the battery light comes on. When I bought the car the charger (if that's what it's called, the thing that charges the battery) was shot -> got it replaced. Whopee. About a week later, the battery light comes on while I'm driving, in a while the airbag light goes on as well. While driving to the garage, the battery light went out a few times, came on again for instance when motorbreaking (if I remember correctly).. Every time the battery light came on all lights (interior and outside) went very bright.
Ok, it was at the garage for two weeks (sheesh..), got it back and they told me they'd put it through some diagnostics, reset something or other. I thought everything was fine now, but a few days later when accelerating the battery light came on again for an instance (3rd gear, relatively high revs), but went out right away. Now, when my gf was out with the car, she said there was a burnt smell when she started the car. A few minutes of driving, and now the freaking battery light is on again. I guess I'll have to take it in for a 4th time, but I'm running out of patience with the garage and thought perhaps they need some pointers...
Something that might or might not be related to this is I put in new Philips Vision Plus bulbs the other day, both burned out in less than 24h. Got a new set, they're working fine (so far....)
I'd appreciate any ideas on what could be causing the battery light prob..
