Battery light.

Went out this morning to go to the shop, low and behold about a mile up the road I realised the battery light was on. Went on anyway, came out of the shop and its off again! Drove home, brought up the hidden menu to see what it said on the way, and even with everything ( and I mean everything) turned on the voltage never dropped below 13.6.

Was it just a gremlin or do we think alternator or battery? Seems fine again now.

08 1.9 CDTI 150

mine did this a few months ago and i had a new alternator fitted a year past, i switched the engine off and back on and it has never happened again so like you must be gremlins

On again tonight when I started the car. Switched off and on again and its gone! Now I'm thinking battery?

This happened to me last month. Became more and more frequent until I then lost power steering too and had to get the RAC out. Turned out to be the alternator.

Hmmm. Hope not but it probably is knowing my luck! I'll be keeping a close eye on the voltage!

One of diodes in alternator probably on its way to heaven

When I got into the car there after work the voltage was 11. 13.8v the whole journey home.
