04 2.0 Battery Warning Light + Beeps!! - mph_turbo
Hi

When I start my HDi, the battery warning light stays on and is followed by three beeps.
The voltage on the battery even with teh engine revved is just over 12 volts.

Everything electrical still works, i.e the lights, indicators, wipers, washers etc.

So am I looking at a busted Altenator or might it be the dreaded BSI module??

Thanks

if your getting 12 volts on your voltmetre with the engine running with all the bells whistles and toys in operation then it does sound like the alternator ...what does the battery read after ten minutes (engine off)

Hi

Just an update.

Got the Alternator overhauled and it turned out that the regulator pack was busted. Put the Alternator back on, started the car but the battery light stays on!!!

Alternator is pushing out 14.4V to the battery though but the engine needs a good rev before this commences.

Any ideas about the light staying on??

Would a BSI reset be of any use??

Thanks
