I'd say your voltage regulator is dying/dead, or you have a bad earth, or simply hardened wiring which needs to be replaced.

you will find that most efs had a power steer leak witch kills the alternator over a period of time

Indeed they do but normally when it dies from oil contamination it just stops charging. This is a voltage regulator issue that has seen the charging voltage significantly increase. Since its an integrated unit, time for a new alternator.

yep time for a new alternator .
i look at my engine everyday and the p/s/p ,high pressure line is a few thousand km old all latest genuine orings,washers has a p/s/p cooler behind the front vent aswell ,so yeah no p/s leak caused this one . i thinks it occured when i jump started it from the territory the other day .been taking short drives lately and listening to music while building a fence for my mum . 2400 wrms of amps probably doesnt help the regulators life span either. |
