saying goodbye to the original alternator,
looks to have died yesterday .. 200k+ miles ..
was wondering how long it would last ;-/
well .. i can view voltage output via a dash mount 'scangaugeII' ..
voltage were dropping below 'normal' ..
was down to 11.6v at low rpm .. normal being 13.9 / 14.1 ..
depending if ac. and/or ptc heater being used.
'n battery warning light were illuminating ..
no sound of slipping belt .. they were replaced not long ago.
brought battery inside to trickle charge ..
battery seems to be ok .. ..
.
Obviously with a re-emf charger you can batteries bring back to life. Just seen someone someone with a 30 y.o. Renault electric car charging them back to life.i previously typed ..
well .. turns out fer now i wuz wrong about .. the battery has reached life's end ;-[
i.e. if going by it's condition indicator .. the green ball 'tis now black ..
[ https://carput.my/the-truth-about-car-batterys-magic-eye/ ]
plus .. it's 6 years old .. ..
tbh .. last 2 times i started the engine there were a hint of failing battery symptoms ..
just a hint .. ..
so .. will replace the battery with a new one.
and .. today .. as i don't like the original terminal connectors ..
and the neg. t.connector seems a bit iffy .. couldn't undo the clamp nut,
and the connector spun as i were trying to loosen the nut ..
decided to replace the neg. battery lead ..
so .. this morn removed the old neg. lead ..
'n ordered a new one ..'n might see about upgrading the terminal connector as well. although .. given the mileage .. it wouldn't surprise me if the alternator needs replacing as well.
[ i see the lz site text strikethru bug as reappeared ;-[] ]

That is some kind of charging the battery differently which seems to clean the battery back to life. I've seen a video some time back from a bloke in Germany who showed how to do that with a cheap Einhell charger, listed the pieces.What is a “re-emf” charger? Sounds interesting.
I've heard of that too but have also heard its a con to make money on Youtube.Obviously with a re-emf charger you can batteries bring back to life. Just seen someone someone with a 30 y.o. Renault electric car charging them back to life.

)Quite. A dead battery is a dead battery.
If the plates have eroded, then there's nothing that can be done to repair them. Modern batteries have very thin plates with a waffle type pattern to increase surface area, but they also erode away quite quickly. Older design batteries had thicker plates, which took more time to erode, but any lead acid battery will be destroyed if it's allowed to go flat for any length of time.
Bummer mate. Have you found the culprit yet?Broken it. Lack of power and fault codes relating to the turbo actuator. Restricted performance message on the dash.
Found a short via the engine control computer but not sure if that should be there, as the 0v return for the signals, or not. The investigation continues...Bummer mate. Have you found the culprit yet?
Apart from yourself that is.
