So i just bought a brand new van citroen relay 2.2 blue hdi (2022)
it has stop/start
Now i was lead to believe all new vans will have a smart alternator, i saw advice online to start the van put a voltmeter on and run it for 10 mins. If the voltage doesnt drop from 14.8 then it doesnt have a smart alternator.
So i put voltmeter on, started van it jumped up to 14.8 as expected. Ran it for 20 mins the voltage did not move at all
Do i have a smart alternator or not ? doesnt appear so from this test but im confused now
does anyone know if there and any other tests i can do or anything to look for ?
if i did attach my split relay would it damage the van at all if i did have a smart alternator or would it just not work properly ?
thanks
