MZpog 10 Posted March 13, 2016 The corrado had a flat battery today.checked alternator and its putting out 13·89 volts is this about right The voltage is absolutely fine at 13.89. If you switch everything on (lights, heated rear, fogs etc) the voltage will drop to about 13 volts, but always over 12. When I had alternator issues it ran fine with everything off, but switching all on would drop to 11v and the battery would flatten. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 44 Posted March 14, 2016 Time for a battery swap I think. I've put the bigger 74ah varta in as it fits in my vr. What a difference it made Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
