Altenator is showing 13.5 V at battery with car running, but Volt guage is showing <11 volts, oil pressure is good, 1.5 Bar at idle with warm engine. Heat works (leaking a drip or so at the heater switch... Any way have a lookie lu, seems to be the original 1.6 Fuel injected engine. Oh yeah, I love the wheels 4-Lug Phone dials.
