[QUOTE="jarance, post: 353599, member: 21"] where did you did the works. Not sure whether E46 318 required 85 AH though. When the fault code comes ON for the alternator, it means that the output from the alternator is not enough to charge the battery. try to get it to change or repair it ASAP or else you might not be able to start your car when your battery is flat. Try not to use the car at night as you will drain the battery faster. Most alternator start to fail when the carbon brush start to wear off. Most recon alternator are repaired by changing the carbon brush. [/QUOTE]
