There seems to be only 1 relay in the fuse box

Hi Wino. Thanks for your reply. The engine code CFH on the timing cover and CFHC, on the lable in the boot. Ive checked fuse 13 and it shows no sign of corrosion. Already cleaned the earths. I presume the e box is where the relays are located behind the drivers lower panel so will take a look at that next. Ill update when ive had a look at the relays. Thanks again.

Hi all. My 2010 octavia 2.0tdi elegance has a fault code p0562. Low voltage detected. Check engine light is on. The alternator puts out 14.4 ish at tickover rising to 14.8 or 9 at 1500/2000 rpm. With a load lights heated seats windows etc it drops to 13.9. Ive checked the continuity of the two small wires back to the ecu and all seems good. I have a small obd scanner and if i erase the code, and start the car the check engine light goes off. If i stop and restart the engine, it comes back on again. I have fitted a new battery, so can cross that off the list. I can see no obviouse signs of corrosion in the connector or wiring, and all the pins on the ecu are there and in good condition. So. Where do i go next with this ? Im erring toward changing the alternator, but it seems to be capable of a decent charge rate. Maybe the ecu its self has failed? I just dont know. If theres anyone that can give me advice on what direction to go in , i would really appreciate the help. As i am rapidly loosing the plot.lol.
