    They're factory-fit parts, intended to assist with the overall balance, handling and body rigidity of our VRS's.

     

    Why anyone would want to remove them, and potentially make their car worse, is beyond me???

    Did you read the original post? It was to gain some extra space in the rear on one trip and then replace them after

    Thanks for the help guys, I don;t know specifically it is the alternator failing. but i have to fix the car in a hurry (long trip next weekend) and can't get it to a garage. So by replacing the alternator regulator / wiring / fusebox Im pretty much covering all bases and hoping to keep this car as reliable as possible because I like to look after it and keep it as original as possible.

     

    The link posted above by OCTAVIA 4x4 is very helpful though, thanks

    the corroded cable will bring you lower charging not higher....is impossible

     

    Gtiracer,tommorow I'll look for an regulator for your alternator,I work on auto parts field and I can acces different catalogues,but only on my work computer

    Thanks, appreciate it. I have had a brief look at connections as a matter of course and everything seems pretty good aside from the obvious melting

    you need a new regulator,and that's it

    Replacing whole alternator just for that,is like repainting the car instead of washing it

     

    I understand that, but I don't know where to get one. Do you know any reputable suppliers that aren't primarily based on ebay?

     

    This is usually caused by a poor crimp connection on the cable from the alternator to the fuse box, which causes the fuse box to melt.

     

    I shall check this also, thanks very much

     

    erm id inest in a alternator cable too

     

    Do you know the part number?

    My alternator has been overcharging my battery recently so since have discovered this problem i have stopped driving it.

     

    Upon inspeoction Ive found a the fuse box on top of the battery has become very hot and melted some of the plastic around it :sweat:

     

     

     

    Upon doing some googling, you can replace the regulator on the alternator but Im having trouble finding a genuine new part.

     

    I have a valeo alternator product code 030903023j

     

    Is this a viable change do you think or should i just do the full alternator, just not sure its worth changing the whole thing if all thats wrong is the regulator.

     

     

    Any help welcome.

     

    Thanks
