Jumped in my gti6 this morning only to find battery light on and stays on, was fine last night. Started up fine and has done all day, relised as well elec front windows not working either seems strange to happen at same time. Battery is nearly new, and all wires to alternator seem ok. Could it be alternator? Any ideas anyone. Thanks in advance________________________________________ 205 gti6 1989 |

Rear wiper working by chance? Take the relay out, replace the fuse which you will find has blown, and ta-da.Had the same years ago on my HDi, no elec windows, rear wiper dead, alt light on. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

I should add I mean the blue relay attached to the rear wiper motor in the bootlid. This will be all green inside I suspect. Fuse 28 will be blown i suspect if you have a Phase 3.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Good call.  For some reason there is a fault with the design which allows moisture to enter the rear hatch and penetrate the rear wiper relay causing it to corrode and subsequently fail. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I get it all the time...  Search search search would've helped actually as your thread title would've lead you to these two!  http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=105942 http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=128328 Thinking back I was in Cov at the time, so it'll be 2006/7 when mine did it! ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I'm not surprised you suffer with this problem Simon if your car sits on the drive all the time whilst you're driving Kia's in SA!  It doesn't get moved and is completely open to collect every rainfall.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

This indeed was the problem thanks guys, how I would ever have found that I don't know. Removed relay and then replaced fuse only for it to blow instantly, unplugged rear wiper completely then replaced fuse and all ok. Would that mean that the whole wiper unit at fault? Or just the relay?________________________________________ 205 gti6 1989 |

Both are probably dead. I couldn't salvage either and replaced the whole lot. Buy a whole phase 3 unit with relay. I nearly said that the whole thing might need replacing, and you might need to unplug it all.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |
