Hi All,

FYI.

I installed a new voltage regulator on 3/30/2012 and replaced again on 8/31/2014. I put about 74,171 miles and it had 7mm brush left over. Both regulators were Bosch and they were made in Hungary.

I had my dash gauge light, overhead dim light & head light flickering issues when the car was sitting at a light. I checked the belt, battery/charging and grounds. They were all within spec/good.

I couldn't figure it why... It was my last resolution to change the voltage regulator. Anyway, it worked. Now, there are no more flickering.

I am guessing that the springs weren't holding the brushes tight enough causing fluctuation. However, battery charging rate was within the spec. I don't recall the exact voltage but it was good.

Thank you as always
