[diesel_mercedes] . Re: Engine bay filled with fluid?    

 

Ok engine now clean.  Still losing hydraulic fluid.  Have streaks on both sides of hood in line with radiator.  Is there cooling for this leveling system?  Must then have blown the seals on both sides of the radiator.  Lawrence Rhodes

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Voltage Regulator

 

I'll probably end up doing that.

You can change the regulator without removing the alternator.  Its a little bit of a PITA, but much less so than changing the alternator.

Now today it is charging between 3.75-14v.  Is there any chance the deficient charging could be connected to the battery being overcharged?

I might have overcharged it when I was preparing it for the alternator install.

Otherwise it looks like I'm sunk unless I want to remove the alternator and change that regulator.

Go ahead but you're wasting your time ~

They'll say " oh yes ~ we've been using these for years and never had any problems " .

BULLCRAP .

All you needs do is LOOK at it under the hood with a flashlight (engine OFF duh) , the black round thing on the back of the alternator will have " BOSCH " on it in small letters along with some numbers .

Anything else is crap .

Obviously , they make more $ by using the cheapest thing they can get .

Well having read all of this maybe I should give that alt. shop a call. They didn't say anything about the regulator brand and I didn't ask.
