[Resolved] 2016 T6 Alternator/Charging Issues

Hi all, I’m hoping for a bit of advice regarding some issues I’m having with my van. My battery light is on, my battery isn’t charging, and I’m struggling to figure out if it’s an alternator, battery control module or wiring issue. I’ve scanned the van and I’m getting a 02252 code, although I...

@trailtrotters Was this ever solved? Just curious and would be good for future reference to know what the root cause was.

Thank you for asking and yes it has always been my intention to provide an update knowing how helpful they can be. The good news is that everything appears to be well but as we have not had the weather or opportunity to take it on a decent trip yet we have delayed sharing our optimism in case it is misplaced.

We had to cancel our planned visit to the electrical specialist and ended up back with our VW dealer who I am pleased to say "Found loose connection under fuse box for engine light on the dash. Replaced oil pressure switch for coil light being on". The switch was £20 and the labour charge £300 so we felt we had got off lightly. Our subsequent local trips have been free of any warning lights so our fingers are firmly crossed that the whole debacle is now behind us.

Thanks for the update and good to hear that the root cause was most probably found. A loose connection sounds very plausible and matches the ‘hunch’.
