3 - Alternator
This warning lamp lights up when you
switch on the ignition. It should go out again
once the engine is running.
If the alternator warning lamp lights
up during operation:
-
Switch off the engine immediately and
check the ribbed V-belt.
If the ribbed V-belt is OK, the fault is prob-
ably in the alternator or the regulating
switch. If the damage cannot be repaired,
please contact the nearest VW Marine Ser-
vice Partner.
Note
The engine may not:
-
be operated with the battery dis-
connected, as otherwise the alter-
nator will be damaged.
-
operated without the alternator
ribbed V-belt, as otherwise the
front vibration damper will be
damaged.
