I'm having difficulties with the regulator and my mechanic wants to replace the voltage regulator on the relay board with this one that attached directly to the alternator. I've never heard of this on a 914. Is this legit?
Here's the part: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134774442106?chn=p...bd362f3f0dc9e7f |

Even if you could, I question the value of doing it.
Right now, the failure of the VR requires a 10-minute replacement job (I killed mine yesterday, coincidentally). If you did the VR on the alternator, it's an afternoon of up-down-up-down being unhappiness (but I'm sure beer would be involved). EDIT: and to the original problem, "having difficulties with the regulator" is possibly difficulties with the relay plate...I really wish someone would build a solid state version of these. |
