I'm currently trying to determine if my 2006 2.2 Ex ictdis alterrnator is failing to provide adequate charge or if the smart charge system is not doing what it should..
If it's not working properly I'll replace it, but if it is then I only need change the pulley or bearing as my car still has the longer polybelt (got the noisy bearing sound that seems common to the usage of the longer poly belt)
My question to you lot is:
At idle I read on a multimeter attached to the cig lighter socket 12.5v. Under load, with lights on, air con on, virtually anything else I can think of on, I only get 11.5v.
The noisy bearing/pulley sound started Thursday evening, the car was sluggish to start Friday evening, didn't touch her Saturday, and Sunday morning she failed to strart (rapidfire clicking)
Can any of you lot confirm what voltage reading you all get at idle and at 2500rpm?
Thanks in advance
