Hi, i have a R reg 1.9tdi (red eye) avant, almost 200k miles

having problems with the battery light comming on about 5 mins after starting.

Checked the voltage off the alternator and it's 0 but if we mess round with some of the connectors on the alt we get 14.4 for split seconds.

What is the best way of checking if it's the alternator gone or just a connection on it???

And is this a common problem with them???


Many thanks Nick
