Hi,

Need some help. My mums VW Tiguan she was driving along today and the car came up with a RED warning saying STOP CAR IMMEDIATELY! BATTERY NOT CHARGING.

I have run a scan and it has come up with several fault codes, relating to the generator.

I Have also checked the voltage at the battery 12.5V with engine off, 11.7V with engine running, so it is not charging.

Any help much appreciated.

Based on the scan, I'd say the alternator (aka "generator") is Not Functioning Good.

Have you visually confirmed that the thing is spinning as it should?

Hi Uwe,
Yes, the belt looks fine and it is all spinning as it should.
Strange that it should happen as she was driving, my first thought was maybe the belt had come off / snapped.

This couldn't be the main Alternator fuse or something simple like that?

Try measuring the voltage on both sides of the alternator main fuse with a multimeter - no need to have the engine running.

Do you know where the main alternator fuse is located?

I've managed to find the location of the fuse, incase anyone reading the forum needs to know. It's to the right of the battery in main fuse box, number SA2.

UPDATE:

I tested fuses etc and all ok. Have now removed the alternator, not too bad a job, but you do have to remove the undertray, wheel arch liner, A/C pump and fan belt tensioner to get access to the alternator bolts.

Once the alternator was out I realised the freewheel clutch pulley on the alternator span freely both directions, a quick google says it should only spin free in one direction so I believe I have found the problem!

A new clutch pulley is around £30 from TPS, alot better than the new alternator at £309+vat!
Hopefully this will solve the problem. I'll update here so anyone else discovering the same fault can read.

Well, that would certainly explain the "Generator -- Mechanical Malfunction" fault. :cool:
