intermittent charging

Jul 30, 2004 1 Replies

I'm driving a 2001 Mexican type 1 and I am experiencing intermittent and low charging. Sometimes it will cut out altogether for from 30 seconds to over a minute. When it cuts out, the idiot light does not come on. When it is charging, it doesn't go over 13 volts. Thanks in advance, George Herzog


That sounds like an intermittent problem in the regulator. In any event, 13V is not enough to fully recharge.
