Question about the battery and possible connection with PAS problems (remember - I know nothing about cars!)... won't the battery be fully charged by the alternator? What will using a charger to charge it add? Also - does anyone know whether, if when I disconnect the battery (to access the PAS fluid tank) the car stereo will lock up and need a code to get started again? Thanks |

| Re: Oil pressure light on now and again The battery will initially be fully charged by the alternator, but there will be some drain (even if only running clock and "you've not been stolen" feed to the stereo head) when the engine's off, plus some when it's started, so if you then run slowly with the ventilation on high, it's not impossible you might get a slightly low voltage. Most VAG cars have a hand-shaking system when you reconect the battery, so the stereo shouldn't need a code. |
