I'm posting this in hope that someone has had the same problem, or knows how to fix the one my car has got....
I have a 2002 BMW 318is, and recently the battery light on the dash has been flicking on and off (literally for 1/2 a second) every 50 miles or so. When this happens the engine power dips suddenly, and i lose power steering. The lights, radio etc remain unaffected. Half a second later, all is good again...
I had the diagnostic machine plugged in today, and it read "8C TERMINAL R", which pretty much stumped everyone. The Alternator was reading at a constant 14.2 when tested, but we are really struggling to find out what the problem is...
Please, can anyone help???
