borufus 17 4 Cars Posted November 12, 2014 my 1985 1.6 gti intermittently has the battery light coming on but is quite dim, checked the wiring and charge rate and all seems ok both under load and without any load, has anyone else had this problem? Is it just a case of replacing the alternator or am I missing something? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 367 Posted November 12, 2014 Brushes or the slip rings on the way out .. check before it fails to charge the battery . D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
