Hi everyone I am having a problem with a mutijet punto with loss of charging.The customer came out to his car and the battery was flat last month i went out started it with a jumper pack but the battery wasnt charging I took the alternator off and had it tested and was told the diodes had failed. after the new diodes car ran for 1 month with no problems until the day before yesterday when the same happend flat battery again .I jumped it but battery wasnt charging i put a new battery and alternator on at the same time and the car was charging so i gave the customer it back. Its now on its way back on a truck with a flat battery after one night. To cut a long story short does anyone know of a problem with these alternators or can someone give me some advise on what could be damaging them. going in today to take a look at it just looking for ideas for now. might just be a faulty new part?
