I hate to disrupt the airplane theorizing but I've got a car question.
Friday I noticed that if I had the AC on ('84 190D) the alternator light would
glow on my car. If I turned the AC off the light would dim and after a couple
minutes would go out completely.
Its pretty hot here (80F when I got to work at 8:30am) so I'd like to use the
AC. The alternator is relatively new (February?) but the battery is quite old.
Is it possible an old battery would cause this?
Years ago my '83 240D ate 3 or 4 alternators before I finally replaced the
battery (which was on its last legs) and it never had another failure until the
engine died of a broken oil cooler line. I'm wondering if its the same thing
here. The car starts fine but its an easy starting 197,000 engine...
