There are several threads on this issue but no definitive answer that I have found.
I need to replace the voltage regulator on one of the 914's. I see there is the original style Bosch for around $100 and the new solid state units starting around $20 I know the original style works. But the idea of solid state for less money is appealing. For a casual driver (not racing, auto crossing, etc.) does anyone have any negative experiences with the solid state units? |

I just switched to a old analog one from a solid state.. Got a beru one from the FLAPS and it didn't quite fit but once I made new screw holes in the side of the relay panel it was just fine.. while driving it was constantly around 14-15 volts. Put in a new analog style Bosch VR and now it stays constant at 13 volts and fits properly..
