Galaxy newbie Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Hi guys just finished putting a new engine into a mk2 galaxy, and on first start up. The alternator workshop light flashed up. Turned it off and started it again, this time the message didn't come back, but the battery light is on permanently. Battery is new, and no chirping noise from the pulley, and I checked the pulley turns both ways before refitting everything. Could someone point me in the direction of what to test please. Thank you.

a18nkd Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 sounds like alternator not charging put volt-meter on battery start car put lights heated windscreens on blowers etc and you shouls be getting around 13.5v to 14.5v anything less or more alternator is not working as it should Quote
