Hello there,
I posted here not long back, regarding an odd issue which can be found below.
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=218754
To cut a long story short, I was convinced, along with many others that it was an alternator problem. I got it booked in at my local garage, they even picked it up! According to the folks there, there is nothing wrong with my car which I find extremely hard to believe.
When I went to start it two days ago, the battery was dead, which is one of the symptoms (This can happen anywhere between 24 hours to a week). I changed the battery and it started normally first time, only without power steering, electric windows, heaters, anything needing electric to work basically. I went out for a drive regardless, 5 minutes later everything seemed to come back on and function, power steering, electric windows etc. Since then it has been working normally, even for the guys at the garage, which is annoying because it will work fine for some time then decide to go AWOL without warning.
The guys at the garage said they have tested absolutely everything, there is nothing wrong with the alternator, all wiring seems fine and they can't find anything wrong with it. They mentioned it could be my Subwoofer, but I've had that in neally a year and never had an issue with it.
I'm confused and have no idea what to do, any ideas!?
