Re: [mk2-16v] Idle evens out once warm. Motronic
You can try a local vw dealer for the connector parts (or http://www.germanautoparts.com/ - that is who I use most of the time for vw stuff). Also, the metal contacts can be removed from the connector if you release them properly. Ifyou are able to remove them to squeeze them tighter or replace with new metal contacts you won't need to find the exact 3 wire dpr connector. For your alternator issue - maybe the voltage regulator needs to be replaced?

Re: [mk2-16v] Idle evens out once warm. Motronic
That's what I used to do. At some point, I acquired an assortment of the various types of individual contacts for the electrical connectors on my '92. I had the proper extraction tools for the various types as well. The connectors which VW used on the Mk1 2 cars were really problematic. With the advent of OBD in the US, they had to improve all that. As far as your charging issue goes, Chad may have hit your problem. The voltage regulator is mounted on the rear of alternator, and has a set of brushes which ride against a commutator, much as in a electric motor. Those brushes wear over time, causing problems. You may still be able to purchase a relacement regulator at the local auto parts store. ~Holland On Apr 14, 2015 6:51 AM, Chad Rebuck chadreb...@gmail.com wrote: You can try a local vw dealer for the connector parts (or http://www.germanautoparts.com/ - that is who I use most of the time for vw stuff).

Re: [mk2-16v] Idle evens out once warm. Motronic
I wiggled the connector again while warming up and nothing. Still idled rough at 800 rpm then shot to 1000 rpm then drove and idled fine. The voltage regulator was replaced less than two months ago. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MK2-16v group.

Re: [mk2-16v] Idle evens out once warm. Motronic
It's possible that the connection to the DPR has finally degraded to the point where wiggling it no longer affects its operation. At one point when I was having charging issues, I ended up swapping the regulator for a new one which didn't solve the problem, so I swapped it again for a old spare I had, which fixed the problem. ~Holland On Apr 14, 2015 5:01 PM, Nickmack nmccaher...@gmail.com wrote: I wiggled the connector again while warming up and nothing.
