I've a 2010 A3 20tdi, this morning just after washing it I went for a run and after a few mins the red battery light came on. Now every time i start it the light comes on after about 30secs.
Does this light ONLY mean that there is a problem with the alternator? Can it be anything else?
only message i get on display is that 'stop/start function disabled due to malfunction'. Even if I switch 'stop/start' off battery light still comes on
Before washing it I did let the car idle for a few minuttes just to defrost it and did think I noticed a slight burning smell but not sure.
any ideas :confused:
Thx
