Peugeot 107 Power Loss Battery Light

Hey, I've got a 2011 Peugeot 107 diesel that's giving me headaches. I've noticed a serious loss of power, plus the battery light keeps popping up. Starting has become a real chore, and the lights are flickering like crazy. I scanned for codes and got a generic electrical fault. Could this be a faulty generator? Mileage is at 99518 km.

Sounds like alternator trouble. Had similar issues with my old Opel Astra – kept throwing up weird electrical errors and the battery was always flat. Check your charging voltage, but yeah, could very well be the alternator packing it in.

Cheers! By 'charging voltage', do you mean testing the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running? What sort of reading am I looking for?

Spot on. With the engine running, you should be seeing around 14V. Anything less and your alternator's probably not doing its job. But honestly, with those symptoms, I'd just get it to a workshop to confirm. Could save you a load of messing about.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to the local garage, and you were spot on – alternator was toast. 960€ later, and she's running like a dream again.
