Title: Re: Electrical problem with 95. 2.5TDi Post by TiberiuS on May 2nd, 2008, 10:40am Hi. Surely it's not hard for him to put an ammeter on and pull fuses so he can at least tell you what area the drain is in? Could be any of a thousand things draining the battery, you really need to know if there's a static drain and on what circuit it is, then people can help more (wiring diagrams are somewhere, somebody should have them). There was once a recall on the Mondeo with a faulty bootlight switch draining the battery over time, switch would 'leak' current, killing the battery after a year or 2...things like this do happen although it's almost impossible to guess where the fault comes from unless you have some info. Good luck. Regards, Bruce :) |

You can retrofit the new alternator but you'll need to change the bracket and oil/vacuum pipes as the pump is now mounted in front of the alternator rather than behind. Darren |
