Thanks Cooljess76 I did check and they were fine. Finally broke down and bought a battery load tester. At rest the battery is fine. Under load 1v. If I boost the car and let it idle for a bit i can remove the booster battery. When I put on a load it stalls the car. If I leave the booster battery on and put a load test on the charging system it falls bellow 11v or fail. I am assuming its a alternator which took out the battery. Sigh... Going shopping on Monday for parts. Thanks again Peter __________________ _____________________________ Peter 1999 318ti _____________________________ |
