Yes you can, I did it on my D3.
Got the diode pack from Auto electrics place in Manchester (G E Middleton).
You need a large soldering iron though.

Connect a jump lead between battery negative and engine.

If problems go away, it's the earth straps that need replacing. Thumbs Up


Noob question - where exactly in the engine? This isn't a Ford Focus with loads of space with unpainted metal to hook a jump lead to. Laughing

I would tell you, but you’ll fry your diode pack and be in £300 for a new alternator. Get it towed to a garage and let them diagnose.

Er, the jump lead diagnostic route has worked many times and I've never heard anyone warn about fri-odes before.

All you are doing is providing a parallel path for the electrons to whizz along. .
