I have the same exact problem on my 1995 Tsi but I can't find where the alternator relay is on my car, can you please point me in the right direction. My car has been down for about 4 months now with this problem and I've replaced the alternator, battery and ecu. I would appreciate any help...
The belt isn't slipping and the alternator was bought new from O'reillys. I'll have to take it to get the alternator output but probably won't b able to til Saturday. Thanks for all the suggestions. By the way, the car starts at around 13.5 v and drains slowly, the ac and lights just make it...
Well I'm back to the drawing board. I tried replacing the alternator fuse and still no luck. I took the car to a technician and he couldn't find the problem either. He recommended replacing the ecm but I don't want to.buy one if mine is good. Anymore ideas? I'm about ready to give up
i have checked the fuze box and no fuzes are blown, the battery doesnt seem to drain while the car is off and battery leads have been cleaned. I really have no clue what it could be.
I've been having this problem for about 3 weeks now..... The car will just die on me while driving and the battery just drains to about 8 volts. I replaced the alternator but no luck, the problem still exists. Im not sure if it has anything to due with it, but my srs light came on a few days...
