Problem with the 3.2 Elite
« on: 20 July 2013, 21:39:15 »
While driving (enthusiastically) the battery light came on and when i got home on idle the engine wasnt running level.. Will upload a video of the engine at idle..  :'(

Any ideas what could be the cause of this problem  :-\

Probably the alternator. Will have to take things apart tomorrow.

That sounds like a bucket of bolts.

But not sue what you mean by "level". Misfiring?

Battery light points to Alternator in my hopeless electrical experience.

Any codes?

Is the aux belt in tact still?

Suspect, given 3.2 alternators, its that that has failed, and is probably being upset by too much or too little lectricity.

If sourcing a new alternator( via the vx exchange service on trade club,in my case )make sure they are aware there has been a batch of 3.0 alternators wrongly boxed and labeled as 3.2 ones.
So they need to physically check what's in the box.

Don't have a code reader any more unfortunately,

Had a new belt and tensioner around a month  a go, Still intact.

Probably the alternator or lose wires maybe even. Will try and eliminate things tomorrow.
