  • Just a few quick q's

    Just a few quick ones... its a gen 2 2.4...

    1. Interior lights seem to dim alot when headlights are put on... i know some vehicles do this, but theyre dimming to the point where i can hardly see the dials/buttons in the dark.

    2. I dont have a wiring diagram yet, so anyone know which pin is the light switch for the radio? Fitted mines and the buttons arent lighting up when headlights are put on

    3. Alternator... whats the average output on idle? I generally always go with rule of thumb being about 14.2-14.5 for alternator working spot on, but the surfs is putting out 13.8 and sometimes a little lower. The batteries are on their way out i think also, didnt like the cold start at all this morning. It had been sitting for a few weeks before I picked it up and in that time they didnt have enough juice left in them to fire it up. According to the stickers on them seem to be around 4-5 years old


    Could just be idiosyncrasies of surfs that I've yet to learn...but figured this is the best place to ask! lol

      Craig, I got into the habit of heating the glow plugs 2-3 times before starting it up in really cold weather. Think it was a tip I got from here during the Dec 10 winter and it worked.
