Hi,
Hoping someone can shed some light onto my battery light issue please...
A few months ago the car was running fine and then the battery warning light came on randomly one day. I've had the battery and alternator checked by a mechanic. The battery was giving out 14.2V of power suggesting that there isn't anything wrong with the alternator. The mechanic said that its probably just a faulty sensor and not to worry too much about it as it is a common fault and doesn't affect the mechanics of the car. However, I feel as if the car has lost power over the last few weeks and doesn't accelerate as fast as it used to. The car is a 2005 1.3i model and has done 17,000 miles. It's never been serviced but I've had the spark plugs checked and they're fine. What I was wondering is a) is the loss of performance likely to be due to the need for a service rather than a battery issue? and b) I've heard that you can get sensor repair kits, where would I get this from as the battery light being on is driving me crazy!
Thanks
