Why does the battery warning light come on in the Alfa Romeo 159 when the engine is idling?
Years 2005-2011

Answer

If the warning light indicating a battery comes on in our Alfa Romeo 159 when the engine is idling, it means that there is a malfunction in the alternator. This element has in fact the task of recharging the battery by exploiting the rotation of the motor. Often the problem can be solved simply by repairing the alternator, but in the worst cases a complete replacement is necessary.
