Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: High Amp Alternator bolt-ins for W123s

 

I've also read a number of articles describing the juice failure as being a Voltage Regulator failure, not an Alternator failure. Seems silly to pay $100 for an alternator (not to mention the tear down) when maybe some $10-15 regulator (more likely some cheap carbon brushes) might be the culprit.

SAAB 900 ~ it is (IIRC) a 97 ampere unit .

_HOWEVER_ ~ I have found that until you use the one , _specific_ BOSCH brand part number voltage regulator , they'll _all_ have low current and voltage output ~ by simply $pending the $14.00 (list price) on the correct BOSCH voltage regulator , your current , weeney 55 Ampere unit will do just fine and , it's a cinch to change this out , unlike changing the entire alternator...

I'd try this first , be aware your partshaus will try to B.S. you into using somerthing else " oh, they'real;l the same , I've been selling these for years with zero complaints " ~ BULLSHIT .
