Hi folks,
Having problems with my alternator (1987 2.4d) had to recharge the battery twice, so last time i measured the volts across the terminals, when engine not running = 12.5v, started engine and the reading was the same, so i suspected the alternator.
So i got underneath to look at the connections and it looks like its been bodged, so i need to know were the wires go to.
And is there only 2 wires coming from the rear of the alternator.
1 of the wires (thin one) connects into what looks like the the harness going to the starter motor.
but where does the other (thicker wire) goto?
Appreciate as much help as possible
cheers,
Derek

I think from previous posts the thin wire feeds the rev counter, so if you've got one and it works I'd leave it alone.
The thick wire has to connect to the battery, but by what route I don't know. Why not ring your local VW dealer, ask for the workshop and then explain what the problem is. Chances are they will tell you the answer for nothing, if not its cost a phone call. |
