Hi
97 300tdi auto with EDC...
Noticed a few times recently that when driving the tachometer momentarily cuts out (ie the indicated revs drop) and the ignition light flashes on.
There is no performance issues at all ie the revs don't "actually" drop.
Any advice welcome please.

Hi thanks for the prompt response. I think the alternator is OK as it's kicking out a steady 14.1 when driving and close to that when idling. From what you've told me though perhaps I need to check for a loose connection on the alternator.
Cheers.

It's a very common problem on the D1
Check the small guage white wire on back of the alternator, the female spade connector gets loose, pull it off the back of the alternator, squeeze it up a bit with pliers and refit it to the alternator, should be fine.
