[Mk2] [Turbo] revs dip at idle ...

Post by djpkins »

my revs have started to dip a bit at idle when I brake...wind up the window, basically tax the electric power a bit...any ideas?

possibly signs of alternator getting weak , and getting ready to call it quits, or possibly the battery is on its way out..

replaced the alternator as it was propper fubared...the battery is fairly new and good quality so hopefully it's still ok...I think it's a bad earth somewhere cos it's when I press the brake pedal or the electric window is winding up etc.
