�65 voltage regulator readings
Hi,
recently, I plugged in a voltage reader in the cigarette lighter to observe voltage during driving. I observed that the voltage was between 14.9V and up to 15.6V when the engine was warmed up and revved up to 4000. Later I double checked the portable voltage readings with another one hoocked up in the engine bay to make sure the readings were correct.
As per my knowledge the readings seem to be too high (normally around 14.2V). I know the testing procedure in the shop manual. However, isn’t it sufficient to counterclockwise turn the voltage screw and observe the behaviour again - without performing all other steps? Furthermore, I obtained a SMP VR103T replacement regulator, which is completely electronic and which I would install in case the whole procedure on the installed one is necessary.
Regards
Oliver
