    Audi a6 2001 alternator charging correctly?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi! I just bought a new alternator for my Audi which came with the regulator. I have a battery in the car that when fully charged has 12.7 volt.

    When starting the car I have around just that voltage when measuring on the battery, car running and idling. When turning off the low beams it goes up high around 14v when idling.

    When driving and or revving the engine up to around 2000 rpm, the voltage goes up to around 14v something, perhaps a bit higher. Is this normal and if not what might be the issue?

    Sorry if I'm confusing but I'm Swedish and I'm tired after replacing that alternator hehe. Any information and tips is appreciated.
