    There are a few things that can cause your problem but the most likely is your got a dud alternator, we had one go a few months ago no light on the dash just noticed the head lights got dimmer. Luck it is a diesel so doesn't need electrics to run, I take it yours is a v8. try with your old alt that will probably fix it if it was still ok

    My is tdi 300

    I just got another jump and started the beast.

    Measured voltage at the Battery 11.40V and Alternator 10.69V

    I reved up the engine to 2000rpm and the voltage at the alternator did not change a bit, 10.69V. So hmmm....?? I would assume even on busted alternator the voltage would go up a bit. If its it the regulator (which I may have screwed up according to Tombie), then where is it? I have been searching online I couldn't find anything.

    I will try to get that "spare" alternator in by the end of the week, problem is that my mechanic where I left the alternator is 50km away (crap)

    Cheers guys for all the help.

    much cheaper than a new alt, there should be a thread on here about changing them

    I just installed my old Mirelli alternator, (my mechanic sent it with the currier yesterday). All in order 13.49 Volts

    Thanks to all guys for help. The ****ty alternator that went out was some no-name piece of sh*t for for $269 buck lasted 6 months.

    Yeah, if any asks why I replaced the alternator in the first place?....Jumpy tacho. It didn't help.

    For the tacho check the terminal on the wire and wire for breaks as that is the weak point
