Hi,
My Mk2 has always needed pretty high revs before it will charge the battery. Think it has got progressively worse as I run the battery down recently but did have the lights on.
The alternator fitted is a Bowers BA03058, 55A.
The battery is in the boot, looks like it is an adequate cable fitted.
The crank pulley is 4.5" / alternator pulley is 2" - I read that the ratio should be 3:1 for sufficient charging at idle. This correct?
Any advice on what to do to solve this? Change pulleys? Not sure what condition the alternator is in now. Is this Bowers make good enough?
Cheers, Allan
