Hi folks!

Just bought myself a 6n2 the other day after my mk5 Fiesta liked the look of a ditch...
When I am driving along it seems that all of the warning lights pop up at different times for less than a second and then go off. The warning lights continue to go on and off all the time whilst driving. Checked the output voltage from the alternator and it was ever so slightly low. Could this be a problem with the alternator brushes? and if so where can i buy replacement brushes?

Cheers!!

That sounds like either a dodgy connection behind the dash or a bad earth. It won't be the alternator

Checked the earths and had a look behind the dash but everything was ok. Took the instrument panel out then refitted it and now the airbag warning light won't go out and I still have the original problem. Could I need a new instrument panel?

Have you got access to a VCDS diagnostics setup?

Not at the moment no.
