Hi folks
I have a red battery light on my dash so checked the battery and alternator last night battery is new and is not receiving a charge but alternator is working ok so been advised be my neighbour Biggdog it may be the regulator.
Checked battery terminals just in case, all good.
Battery was 11.65
Alternator 11.65 cold
Alternator 14.4 after cranking
Battery still 11.65
My car is 75 tdi AMF 2002, with lots of electrical dependant extras so its the 120a I think.
My question is has anyone replaced their regulator with the alternator in situ ? Or does the alternator have to come off for the reg to be fitted? is this an easy hard job to complete ?
