Thanks for all replies. No air con, so it looks as though alternator should be 90 amp.
My battery supplier is more used to seeing alternator output on an Audi of at least 85 plus and wondered whether mine at 76 amp was keeping up with my 74 amp battery - he is accustomed to seeing a 10 amp plus buffer between battery and alternator, hence his wish to know battery and alternator spec.
Could I get your opinion on whether you think low alternator output combined with short journeys/low mileage could be the problem?
Thanks
Keith
