[QUOTE="creationblue, post: 636898, member: 1093"] Ok so might have found my alternator issue, I stumbled across this drawing and it shows that pin 2 cable must have a cross section of 2.5mm2 or larger, now my cable here was part of the VW loom and is around 0.75mm2 and comes from the ignition switch. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/6pBDWrXX/E41701-E4-A4-BE-40-D6-9-E43-57037-EFB7-CED.jpg[/img] So I ran a 6.0mm2 cable from pin 2 direct to the battery, leaving off the original VW loom wire.
