Charging light on - help please!
Am still ironing out the last few niggles on my car and another one has popped up this evening.
I started the car and there was a screech from the fan belt (Brief and not very loud) and they charging light wouldn't go out. I stopped and checked the belt tension and it was fine. I have also recently replaced the voltage regulator.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be, other than the obvious, e.g. "Don't be such a cheapskate and just buy a new alternator o!"
Any words of wisdom much appreciated

Too many to list but 2 x 1982 Golf GTi 1.6 hatches are the main ones

Im having a similar problem too.
Car not running 11.97 volts
Car running 13.60 volts
It shows no increase as you rev it.
Would this mean a kaput alternator?
Sorry to add to your thread with another question O!
Cheers
