Happy Friday Everyone,
I have found that my battery is not getting a charge from the alternator. I tightened the belt (which was loose) and that didn't help. I thought before buying a new alternator (and various other parts to go with it) that I would swap out the VR, as new ones were only around $20. Well, it turn out (of course) that I need an expensive, Bosche VR for over $200. So now I am back to just buying the alternator, but before I do that; do you all know if there is any way to test the VR before spending the $ on the new alternator? Thanks as always for the help! |
