Hey,
When i have my headlights, foglights & radio on (aftermarket headunit with 1 working speaker in car) the voltage in my r32 gtst drops to 12.3v. It then fluctuates between 12.3 and 12.5v
The battery has been recently replaced with a 700cca battery as my old one went flat really quickly.
Is this a normal voltage for an idling r32 with a new battery?
Sometimes when idling at the lights, a slight vibration can be felt which only lasts for a second or two and then disappears. When this occurs the voltage seems to drop from 12.4 to 12.2~ and then back up once the vibration stops.
Would a dieing alternator cause this? Ive heard that the r32 is very sensitive to voltage changes which may cause the slight vibration during voltage drops?
Also, car struggles to jump to life on cold start-ups. When new battery was first placed in, the car would crank over real quick in the mornings. However now, (couple months after new battery) it seems to take longer than previous to crank, also a blip of the gas pedal has to be done to keep it running.
Thanks
Patrick
