i have a 2.2td espace t reg. i bought it a few months ago and i had the alternator removed and reconditioned as i was told it was not charging. when i got it back the battery remained on all the time and it would also stay 'stop'. the battery didn't run flat untill a couple of months later and then i started to check the voltage and found that the alternator was not charging un less i revved the engine fully and then it would start charging 14+ volts. sometimes it would then stop charging or sometimes it would then stay charging.
this became annoying when driving around i was having to rev the engine full belt to get the alternator working and then finally it seemed that it stopped working altogether.
i could afford more garage fees as i thought that maybe it hadn't been done properly in the first place, so i stripped it down myself and went and got a fully reconditioned unit and put it on the vehicle. very awkward in deed.
when i started it it had the same problem.
either i am the unluckyest person to get two faulty alternators or the alternator is not the problem.
can anyone help me with this. the only thing i thought of is that the main lead to the alternator also has another lead also but there are two connectors on the alternator. i thought i haput it on the correct one but tried it on the other one also anyway. also there is a fitting on the alternator for a push on type connector but i could not see and wires that would go on this at all.
any help would be great
cheers
