It would repolarize the generator as soon as you turned the ignition ON, and then probably wipe out the VR. I'd expect it to then discharge, rather than charge, the battery, and probably burn out the generator field coils. Just let a competent auto electric person look at it. They can tell you exactly what's wrong very quickly. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
