Alternator issues-faults
Alternator issues-faults
Hi all i have had my c6 rs6 for 3 months now and yesterday a fault came on my dash,Alternator is not charging your battery within 10 mins my car slowly started to die and finally it come to a stop.
This morning i charged battery fully then did a volt drop on it was ok,So then i removed engine cover and checked the alternator for voltage drop incase it was a cable broke or melted.The mechanic who helped me out told me the alternator wasnt working right and said the bushes may have gone.
I have warranty on the car but before i take it to be checked replaced is there anything else i can check and is this a common issue its a 2009 59 with 74k miles cheers.

Audi will do a full voltage diagnostic to find out whats what. It could be the battery also.
Too much power is barely enough.

Yes alternators fail on the C6.
Get it booked in, full front end off job.

Beast of an alternator, it's water-cooled, innit?

Re: Alternator issues-faults
I seem to remember that being cheaper than the C5. Is that a core exchange?
