Hi,

I found the tech bulletin regarding the upgrade of an internal regulated alternator in an early car.

Tried to source the resistor 911 641 981 00 (91ohms, 5watts) at the dealer but they told me NLA.

So i left it that way. The alt light would usually glow with the ignition key on and would turn off when started. On some occasions the light wouldn't glow at all with the ignition key on. I left it that way...

This morning the starter had a hard time turning the engine over... Lucky i had to head back home and when i tried to start it again it didn't. I checked the voltage on the battery post and have 11volts.

I'll be tracing the blue wire to check if it is opened or not tonight as suggested in some interesting post a while back.

I now want to install a resistance as per the technical bulletin but the only one i found around here are 82ohms 5W or 100ohms 5W. I bought both of them.

Any idea on the one I should try to use between the 82 and the 100ohms unit. They are both 9ohms away from that 91ohm unit!

TIA
