My car has an issue whereby the alternator will not run at all at cold start, however after setting off or even revving the engine to around 2k rpm it will begin charging. This is accompanied by a rough cold start where the rpm's sort of swing up and down and the car feels like it will stall...

I need to get myself a new battery shortly and just wanted to see what people recommend for a car that will mostly only be used on weekends. I know the factory battery was an AGM but I hear these are not good if the car only sees occasional use, and are better suited to daily drivers. Is this...

I'm currently in the process of fixing a very lightly damaged M6 and want to get to the bottom of some electrical related codes stored (shown below).

I have an '01 M5 and have my alternator off the car. I see that gives me access to the two oil lines that go from the oil filter to the engine mounts. See this diagram: RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog I was wondering if anyone has had leakage of the two o-rings (#10 in the diagram) or if...

Hi All Please, pull up a comfy chair and see if you have any knowledge you can share relating to this problem I currently have with my car. A few months back, I had my car in at CPC for an unrelated issue, and when I picked it up, Phil mentioned that the alternator bearings were getting noisy...

I have this annoying squeaking coming from the alternator. The sound is always persistent, cold or hot and is at the pace of the engine revs. Strangely, when I brought it to a mechanic, they put a dollop of rubber grease on the belt and it killed the sound .... for about half an hour. Now its...

Hello, folks. I've had the red battery light come on several times while driving. The battery is only a few months old. I check the voltage today while driving (not battery warning light) and it was moving between 12.0 and 12.8V with no accessories on. Bad alternator? :dunno: Thanks. Pete 00 M5
