<DIV></DIV>Guess I'll try connecting the blue wire and see what happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't want
<DIV></DIV>to change the regulator if I don't have to, it looks like a pain to do it
<DIV></DIV>with the alternator in place (though Bentley says it can be done, they give
<DIV></DIV>no instructions) and it looks like a pain to remove the alternator (that
<DIV></DIV>lower bolt! - and again, no real instructions in the Bentley manual).
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Comments?

<DIV>The alternator is easy to remove, and the regulator even easier. Replace the brushes while you're at it. The regulator you can buy anywhere, same as the 88-92 Jettas. It is held in place by two small screwson the back of the alternator. Gooc luck.</DIV>
