Thought I would show what is going on. The aftermarket are 180 degrees out in the rear and that makes the single one in center out. Depth of bottom is about 1/4" shorter the Bosch one. Aftermarket will work with enlarged holes BUT it still sets higher on the relay board.

I know this was covered in another thread, but the new Bosch part# for the voltage regulator is F026T02230. My best source for it is Cars245. Just over $50 shipped on a slow boat from Latvia.

I have a no name from the jungle site now, works ok but I don’t trust it. |

What I do know is that it is a Bosch part, fits in the stock location without having to trim the relay board, and has passed field testing by another member. It is the one pictured above. I have two on the way to my house now, a back up for my car and a spare to share. |
