Alternators need regulators, but since about 1975 I think they've all been built into the alternator. At least on Bosch alternators, they can still be replaced separately, and I've had to replace quite a few. Replacing them is quite easy, as long as you have clear access to the rear of the alternator.. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
