Hi,
I recently bought an e30 and came to the conclusion the alternator was starting to fail. The dash lights are dim, and the lights pulse. a bit of reading and I concluded the cheapest route would be a voltage regulator replacement.
The regulator is en route and I pulled the air box to get a head start. To my dismay, this alternator doesn't appear to have a user replaceable voltage regulator. From the top it looks visually the same, but from the rear it doesn't match any photos I've seen.
Can anyone identify this alternator? I guess I'll just have to replace the entire unit?
