Hi everybody,
I found alternator warning on the dash of my Muiti
"alternator malfunction contact garage"was shown.
Anyone, tell me what kind of trouble has caused in my multipla 1.6 petrol.
The warning light comes on when i rev the engine around 2000 - 3000 rpm while the engine is cold.
See the video linked:
The warning never comes on after the engine is hot enough.
The alternator has worked for a few years / for only 20000 miles.:bang:
I changed alternator a few years back because the old one stopped working when my mileage was about 40000 miles.
I think its malfunction might be caused by heat from the exhaust manifold located next to the alternator in the case of petrol models.
That lay out is so rubbish,i hate exhaust manifold located behind the engine.
I measured voltage,14.2 - 14.3v idle + head light +fan ,
14.3v at 3000 rpm , nothing strange was found and mine is running comfortably everyday except for annoying noisy warnings.
Anyone help me out!
