Hi,

I need some help with my car. I've an Audi A4 19tdi Sport and recently whilst driving the the battery lights flickers on and off.

I first noticed it, when I attempted to shift down gears to over take a slow vehicle when the radio cut out when the revs were above 3000. There was no loss of power to vehicle (apart from the radio cutting out).

After this the car was not driven for two days and when started up again the light was again flickering. The vehicle started fine, not issues with the pump or steering and fan belt looks intact and battery looks ok. However, wilst driving the light was flickering contantsly. After an hour of driving with no electrics on the light was not flicker but when revved agressively it would again light up and cut off again.

Does anybody have an idea what might be causing the issue? Is it a weak battery or a alternator that looks like it maybe on its way out? or could this be something else?
