Not a really bad idea, but I wanna find a way to replace that alternator in a way or other. 😅

I’ve just checked the battery level. It’s not fully charged and I think soon will be another breakdown. BTW @Mark2 I emailed Shaun Collins and I used your name , just to let you know. Thanks for that

@DieSel-Q yeah, but if they are doing what they’ve done with you , is like there’s nothing we can do about that, the only thing you can do is like , to prove you in person where is that bad wire that they found it. And about mine there’s nothing I can do right now because somehow they blame the adblue off tune is doing that even I know there’s nothing connection between that adblue tune and that 48v battery because I’ve asked someone from Audi Bucharest that there is no way that can affect the 48v battery not being charged properly and he’s not willing to send me anything in writing because he can lose he’s job, but he said when that alternator is failing there’s is no software that can fix it because it’s just a car part that you won’t fix it with an software or resetting the 48v battery, the only thing he said it might be it’s that alternator it’s not charging how it should, and you can see that with an vcds but mine doesn’t work on this car or measuring the BSG but why they would lie and saying that the BSG is fine it’s not like they are paying from there pocket no?

@Mark2 Shaun Collins said in a video posted to me that . They had 2 cars with the same issues like mine and they couldn’t find the exact reason why was happening this thing with the battery not being charged. But it’s seems like that BSG it’s charging for the moment.

Yeah, they checked the BSG and it’s charging, I’ve drove the car yesterday and today so I assume it’s charging 😅

Hi guys. I’ve collected my car yesterday from Bath Audi. It’s seems like everything it’s fine for the moment, I’ve done like 100 miles yesterday so see if that battery lights is coming up and nothing, all good, it’s seems like they blame the adblue off tune in a way or other. I’ll add a picture of the invoice of what they’ve done.

Btw, an overcharge of the 48v battery can cause the alternator stop charging?

I was thinking the same thing,( that the 48v battery is going on a safe mode or something like that)but I’m like wondering why they said that they tested the alternator and it’s charging fine( or they are lying) but if they do that it will be back on the dash board tomorrow when I’ll drive the car from Bath to Bristol. But I’m sure they are just trying to avoid replacing that alternator. And I’m paying for new software, testing the car and resetting the 48v battery £522

An update of my car. They called me in the morning saying that they found an fail with the 48V battery and they reset the battery and need to test it mre( driving) to see what’s going on, they found the ad blue off but I play the ( I’ve got no ideea but I don’t mind, so just leave it like that) . Anyway they called me about 5 min ago saying that they drive the car and the battery fault coming back on dash bord and all those electric failures and they done and software update and now everything is fine and I can pick up the car. I’ve asked if they tested that alternator and they said that the alternator is fine. Tomorrow I’m picking up the car. Hopefully I manage to drive it back home but I don’t think so, I think it will happen again and I think they are trying to avoid replacing that alternator.

I just drop my car to Audi Bath an hour ago, tomorrow I should get an answer from them. I’ll let you know what’s happening and if they hopefully play the game. @brt286 great that you manage to get you car fixed with no cost.

You don’t need any service history done at Audi or anywhere else, there is an issue with this alternator ( a bad part) so Audi need to replace it( some of them are doing it and some Audi are just playing with customers money) or something like that

I just checked the part on my car:) seems like is the genuine part, got the W/AG on it.

Ok. Thats great then. I just take a look on some paperwork because I’m like the second driver, I’ve got the car from a dealership (not Audi) about 4 months ago,and there’s lots of paperwork done at Audi by the first driver but nothing about this alternator but I’ve found an offboard diagnostic information system with lots of electrical faults, couple of papers actually ( I think there are all electrics faults of the car) first fault is like battery 48v(a6,c31)- charging fault all of the papers with those electrical faults are from the 3 dec 2024. Now I’m wondering if the dealership bought the car with this alternator issue and they replaced, because if they done that and they didn’t use an genuine Audi/w part I don’t think Audi will replace an aftermarket at no cost but I think the dealership will need to pay for it anyway if not they can get the car back. I’ll find out on Friday when I’m taking the car to Audi.
