Water leak and now battery light


Recommended Posts

Hi, I've had a water leak for a week or two, getting worse. Think it's from the water pump, drips directly below header tank. I've got a pump on order to fix but just got home now and the battery light came on for last 2 minutes of journey and had no power steering.

 

The belt usually squeals now and again, guessing when water drops on to it.

 

Is it possible the belt slipping has resulted in alternator not charging the battery?

 

Thanks

Which model year?  Which model?

 

When there's a leak, you have fluids where it's not supposed to be wet.  All sorts of electrical problems can result.  Corrosion.  A short.  Not just a belt squealing.

 

Remove the tire.  Remove the brakes.  Remove the wheel well lining.  Get some photos.  Let's see what it looks like.
