Zen Neutral Newbie February 12, 2004 Share February 12, 2004 10.7V sounds abit low. maybe it's your car specific voltage ... $60 for brake light switch also sound abit high. I got mine at $20 (VW part)if I am not wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear February 12, 2004 Share February 12, 2004 10.7V reading is a load test and not at static voltage. Load test is actually a loading simulation test ( wiht engine off ) subjecting the battery to a high discharge of more than 60 amp. This is carried out with a battery load meter and the test normally do not last more than 10 seconds.With temp compensation for the local ambient temp , 10.7v is acceptable.The lowest possible is about 9.6 volt.

Tea3 Neutral Newbie February 13, 2004 Author Share February 13, 2004 With the engine running, how much should it be since you mentioned that the load test in done with the engine off? Or is the load test never done with the engine running? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Clutched February 13, 2004 Share February 13, 2004 Can turn into 'turbo' with TWISTER! Tested it out Pete's Fabia and it feels and sound like turbo charged.. Supposed to try out on his car also. Want to see if it realy makes a lot of 'noise'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear February 13, 2004 Share February 13, 2004 With the engine running @ 2,500 rpm the reading should be about 13.8volt.More than 14.2 volt is overharging and overtime can seriouly damage the battery cells. You can load up the charging system ( not battery ) by running the engine at 2,500rpm and then switch on the headlight to high beam, on the radio, air-con @ full blast and @ lowest temp. If the voltage reading is still 13.8v, that means your alternator is perfectly in good health Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Neutral Newbie February 13, 2004 Share February 13, 2004 yup.... the car telling you road tax is due, please cash out your ERS to pay road tax.... SMART CAR!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea3 Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 I see. Well, the voltage was tested while the car was idling....air con off, lights off... so hope this is a valid test too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea3 Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 Yup, now looking where to spend the ERS other than road tax... In an impreza or jazz? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 wah....so got 'turbo' sound ah ? Too bad got no psst psst sound also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 No the test is not valid. If the battery is not isolated during the load test, what happen is the laternator will try to supplement the battery when it sense a drastic drop in voltage and ampere.
