Yes I checked today and it has the standard 35 amp Bosch. I will be handing it over to my mechanic and he will run additional checks.
I'm just wondering if there is an alternative to use? Something with more power that is compatible? I saw another post whereby someone upgraded it to a 55amp?
The current amp wasn't sending enough power to the battery and it caused the car to just turn off while driving...I did however drive it for 5 hours with lights and heating on after buying it. In addition the previous owner hadn't secured the battery in and cables were loose - which prob played a role too.
