Hi Guys I have been having charging issues with my 08 R50 for the last 12 months or so. The problem is that the batteries drain after about a week to 10 days. I've had the alternator out and tested twice (came up fine on both occasions but I replaced the regulator last time - just in case)
Anyway the batteries are still going flat (batteries have been tested and are good)
When driving the car the volt meter continually dances around from 12 to about 13.8 volts.
It sort of sounds to me like the alternator cable issue that the 04/05 models had where VW did a recall and replaced them but as I said this is an 08 model so it shouldn't be the issue.
As you can imagine this is starting to get me down :anger: so any advice and help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks,
Mick
