Hi all,
What voltage should i get across the battery with the engine running?!
Car has been sluggish when starting for a while, but let me down this evening and needed a jump start. I'm trying to determine if it's just time for a new battery, or something more sinister - have only had the car a couple of months so don't know how old the existing one is, but as its a Bosch S4 on an 05 C2S so i'd guess it's not that old.
I'm getting 13v at the battery when the engine's running - and it stays pretty constant when revved - so think the Voltage Regulator is still good ...but from other cars I've worked on, i'd have expected more like 14v - so wondering what the norm is?!
Many thanks
