Hi, new member, so I hope I am posting this to the correct area.

I have a W reg Felicia 1.3L, no A/C or power steering (unfortunately).

Today I noticed that once the revs got above 1400rpm the radio cut out. Once in traffic again and idling it came back on. Each time revs above 1400 it went off. Not sure but I think the fan blew harder than normal.

I checked across the battery and at tickover the volt meter read around 14.3 volts.

At 2000rpm it was reading 17-18volts.

Will this cause problems?

Is the alternator duff or could it be the voltage regulator?

If the regulator, can it be replaced without changing the alternator?

If yes, how?

Thanks,

Paul

Yes it will cause problems, it is the alternator or the regulator, and the regulator is separate.

You'd get a better response here though.
