Took a 3 hour drive to Knoxville today. I watched the volt gauge. Seemed to be irratic. Hung at 11.4. But would jump to 13.5 for a short time them back to. 11.4. G lite was not on during the drive. After a short stop the re start is when the lite stayed on. Guage still at 11.4. I gotta get home.
Auto zone has a voltage reg. Is this a typical symptom of the easy to replace VR? |

Had this issue once on my 1.8 bus motor and the commutator was filthy and the brushes were worn out.
I used to Bosch rebuilt altenators and found once they get to the above stage they generally need to be dismantled, cleaned and new bearing fitted anyway....cheap enough to do. The bosch altenators are pretty robust I found most can be repaired to do another turn. |
