[T3] My T3 W-end: Voltage Regulator


Hi,

I finally had to replace my voltage regulator.  It had been ticking every
since I purchased my notch (Jan 2003) on a regular basis (5 minutes here and
then stop, then tick a bit more, etc).  However, the car always started
without problems, lights worked, I don't have a radio so don't know if it
would have worked, etc.  One night I was driving home from work and noticed
that one of my head lights was out and the other one dim, I had the
suspicion that it wasn't the headlights but the VR.  The next day I replaced
the VR and the headlights went back to normal.

The notch still hesitates, so I am spending some time adjusting carbs, etc
next weekend on it.  The manual in:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/t3dualcarbtuning/index.mv
mentions a synch test tool.  Is there a "contemporary" version of this tool
that I can buy?  If so does anybody know what is it called?
