  1. Thanks for replying. What I wanted to say by running the car : the repair guy wanted to test if the car would still work if we disconnect the battery when the engine is switch on. He unplugged the battery and all electronic inside was still working fine (A/C, radio, lights....) generated by the alternator. Meaning the alternator works. I wasn't so much confident with this but nothing special happened. I've been to the garage this morning and I talked with the guy. He's going to pull out the alternator, check the serie number and try to find one new regulator somewhere (in Dubai) because Porsche as you know don't sell this item separately. I hope it's "only" this, I got the car 1 week ago. I'll keep you in touch.
  2. Finally found a topic regarding my problem ! I just got a 2005 boxster 2.7L with 43k on the clock. Everything was fine after 4 days until I got a flash Warning Battery/generator message. I checked straight away the battery Voltage in a garage and I got a 12,5V on the voltmeter. The day after before starting the car, my gauge oil level gave me an empty level. I was full the day before. After 30mn, the computer told me that my level is now 3/4. I went straight to a garage I know and we found that the battery on the car was a low cost one et with 67amp instead of the 70amp from Porsche. I bought the new battery in Porsche Center and went back to my garage. Before changing the low cost one (with was brand new) we rechecked the voltage, around 12V. After replacing the new one, we checked again and still 12V ! :cursing: We also checked if the car was running without the battery plugged, fine, the car was still running. Meaning, my alternator is not working 100%. Most of time as you said guys is the voltage regulator the main problem. I hope so. Question : Does this ****ty battery low cost damaged the all alternator or only the regulator :eek: ??? The car is going to be checked tom, however if someone can reply before ;) Thanks and happy new year
