Hi Guys,
got this ongoing issue with my alternator.
Orgionally it was not charging after going throw some mud. The dash light did not come on, just stopped starting one day.
Replaced the bush's as they were really gone, charged fine for about 2 weeks. Same again, no charge and no battery warning light.
When you ground the cable going from alternator to dash both the low battery and water in diesel light comes up on the dash.
Replaced the alternator with another td27 one that the previous owner said was working. No charge.
the D21 manual says for the ka and Vg alternators if you short the wire and the dash light comes on that the regulator is most likely broken.
does not mention both he low battery and water in diesel light coming on at the same time.
Does anyone have any idea why these two lights would come on? are they linked or do i have an issue here?
