took car to garage with new iacv to be told that it aint my iacv after all and its actually overcharging running at 15volts instead of 12, but i got one off me mate thank god, so it cost me £20 for new alternator and £25 on monday to get it fitted, just dont wanna drive too much cos it might fry my ecu

yea on idle the battery voltage rises to around 15v


how is it cutting out ? stalling ? just complete shut off ....not 'choking/stalling' just loses electrics ?

driving along, slow down, revs dip really low and then cuts out, it idles at 600rpm normally tho, which i think is way too low, it isnt over revving or bouncing revs tho this is the only thing that is happening and its the only been doin it a week

I had this happen 3 times on my GSi, first time it was ICV, then a split vacuum hose and the last time was a bad earth.
