I just bought a new Bosch voltage regulator. The old one is not a OEM and has the wiring harness molded into the case. So I need to cut the wires and use spade crimp connectors on the new Bosch. So the problem is I have a Red, Black and Green wires on the harness. The terminals on the regulator are labeled: DF, D-and D+. Is it a straight through connection? Whould I be better off buying a new harness with a double ended plug connector?

Thanks, Eddy

I agree with the Doc. I think you may have an incorrect replacement. Show us a pic. The bus regulator will sorta work. That may be what you have now.

I bought the part from Bow Wow, a VW part store. They told me it's the correct one. I do know the regulator in the car is not a factory original OEM. This one is part # 0 192 062 007. I think I will return it because I am not crazy about adding the stake on terminals when there should be a molded plug, which is fool proof. I will try to order the correct one on Monday.

Well made a few calls today and found out the harness is about $175, used. Way too much for 2 plugs and only 3 wires that is about 3 inches long. Does anyone know if I have the correct regulator? See part number above.

Thanks
