4, New alternator installed and tested:I left my car at the workshop and pick it up the day after. ![]() The new alternator installed and looking good. ![]() When cranking up the engine the red battery alarm was gone. ![]() And last a voltage check, normal voltages are about from 14.2 to 14.4 volts when car running at idle or 1500 rpm and no excessive electric load. I read 14.5 volts, it's a cold day and then the regulator puts in some extra 0.1 volt. If it reach more then 14.6 volts for longer time, then it's something wrong. Leave the car to a workshop. As I wrote in the beginning, this was a risk that I took to just order a new alternator before checking everything that could have been wrong. Cables that are loose, bad ground connection etc. But I did a visual check of that. If you want to go deeper into it maybe these links I found could be useful:
Does it sound complicated? Then leave the car to the workshop, don't risk to destroy your car.
