With the engine warmed up after a drive and at medium rpm, measure the voltage across the battery. It should be 14.1-14.4V. If it is less than 13.5V replace the voltage regulator with a Bosch 30-019. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
