Buddy of mine has an 88 900S. Both the alternator and battery were replaced last week. After replacing the parts, I did all the bentley tests and the car appeared to be fine (12 v across battery terminals, 13.9 v when running, etc.)The car went fine for three days. Yesterday morning, after being driven all weekend, battery was too low to crank it over (Click, click, click). I jumped the car to get it mobile. However, no charge now, 11.5v across batt terminals and dropping. I rechecked and retightened all alternator and battery connections and still got nothing. WTF? I'm sure he is wishing he paid me in cash, he probably doesn't want the beer back at this point.
