Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just got a call from my daughter who is driving my 3.4 996 tip Tronic. She took it to the country for the weekend and while she was driving back into London tonight she said on two occasions she pulled up at the lights with her foot on the brake, And the revs dropped slightly and a red battery light flashed up for half a second. Then the car ran fine. The same happened about five minutes later, after she had driven for about two hours. Any thoughts about what might be going on? I thought about the alternator belt slipping?

POST 2Original post

Have a look to see if the earthing strap is loose.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good thinking about the strap. Over the years I have had to regularly remove and clean it up in order to improve the hot start starter motor speed. It’s always started however when warm can sound quite sluggish even with a new battery. I will check this.

POST 4Original post

It it's still the original strap, but looks ok and with good clean contact....get a new one anyway. A thousand other electrical faults that are blamed on individual components are actually caused by bad earth. Old straps have higher resistance, so begin there.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
