Generator error (alternator)

  • Hello,

    after hibernation I get a permanent alternator / battery error message. Battery is charged, starts without problems, drove 20km, error is permanently there. Is there anything else I can check before I have the generator changed?

  • Whether it charges, of course. Measure the voltage at the battery = approx. 13V when the engine is off - and should increase by at least 1V when the engine is running (if necessary, accelerate a little). If nothing changes, it does not charge the battery.

  • Yes, I had done that. Battery neutral 12.3 V and with running engine / generator it goes down to 11.8 V.Had not expressed myself clearly, so the generator does not supply. But can you somehow check if it is the regulator, or the belt?

  • What strikes me, since I used this ctek MXS 5 first the battery went hops and now apparently the generator. Coincidence?

  • To avoid possible damage to the car when charging the battery, I always disconnect the battery.

    If the generator is not supplying power, it is probably "only" the charge controller or the brushes that are screwed up. Dismantle the Lima and bring it to Bosch. They will check the part and repair it if possible.

  • Ev. had the regulator nen Hau away and due battery gekillt, before he has now made himself the Grätsche? A working CTEK makes nothing broken ...

  • I have installed a complete and matching alternator. Do I bring the defective one best to a Bosch service to have it measured, or can I try this myself? Could not find a workshop with generator test bench in my search.
