Folks So i did some inspection on the dead battery when it didn't respond to charging overbite
The top side was blown out on the positive side. A check with a meter indicated that i was charging at about 16+ volts I grabbed my trusty Uro voltage regulator from the glove box and installed it from above with not too much difficulty. The removed regulator was an old bosch i had scavenged from a blown 240d 3 or 4 years ago. The brushes on it showed some wear. The Uro works but i no longer had the borrowed meter and there wasn't one in my car, so i still need to check the charge voltage. Am i correct in thinking that a bad regulator can cause an overcharge condition. i notice that i can now buy the Uro or identical regulators direct from HK or China for about $6.78 delivered …. if they work, i need a couple in every 123 car. What other regulators are available and at what price points? I guess i'd pay $18 for a Bosch made where? India? China? Hellas? Just wondering what you've been using and success rates. thanks, xx rick Rick Hawkins www.javaphoto.com www.javacycles.com LETTERPRESSES FOR SALE www.ricktheprinter.com www.letterpressmachinery.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
