hi i have a sonata 1994 model 2.00 cdi with 100k miles on clock
ye cars been really good up till now
3mths ago it started with no idle but i can live with that by just stepping up on the gas to bring the engin rev up
more worrying lately its got a battery drain problem(no warning lights on dashboard=normal lights) = have had the alternator checked out at an auto elec place who says its perfect=not wrong so i guessed it must be the battery
fitted a new battery but the problems still there it just drains out after 4 days or about 100miles
its all factory torqued and no ones played with it yet, am now lost to see what the problem is
any help and ideas please
since posting this i have now got a meter to tell me if the charging current is on or not. well it charges purfect when engine is cold and as the engine heats up say in 2 miles the charge lighton the gadget drops out and drains the battery. let the engine cool down and the whole thing starts again ie charging when cold and when hot in 3 miles it drains
any replies would help
