Noticed today that the battery level was reading 18 volts. Obviously not good. I turned on every power draw I could think of, it dropped to about 16. Is it a package deal to replace the regulator with the alternator like on a VW, or can I replace that seperately? Difficultly of replacement? Special tools?
Thanks for the help.

 

AFAIK the regulator is in the alternator as it is on the later models. Fixing it requires a new alternator. Not a difficult DIY.

 

OK thanks. I can handle turning a wrench
I just needed to know what I should be looking for part-wise.

 

Has anyone used allsubparts.com??
They seem to have the best price here.
