2011 CRD WK2 - Battery Light and she DIED
Hi All
Well what a Fck Upped Oz day. Thursday night going to get my girls from school, battery light comes on, I think "That's not good" just had battery replaced 2 months ago, turn corner AC goes, Windows go down, ABS light on, then christmas tree on dash, luckily was in a school zone so rolled to curb. turned her off and got smell like an electrical burnout smell.
RACQ - wouldn't touch it or even look at it apart from trying to get windows back up, which completely drained their Battery Pack.
Towed to Auto Electrician to try diagnose in Sunny Coast.
Had a quick call to Jeep at 4:30pm, explaing scernario and asked what is worst case, Alternator, PCM, Battery and 4-5K ??
End result, no camping, trip cancelled (kids and wife devastated) and thinking of binning this thing..
Has anyone else had this catastrophic ending ? I know there was a P60 recall for the 160Amp Alternator but the Diesel is 220Amp I believe.
Any help truly appreciated..
Thanks
