Voltage Regulator Replacement? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be JohnB on  Mon Nov 11 06:10 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Can you see the back of the alternator? Normally the regulator can be easily replaced...you don't even have to disconnect the battery if you're careful.

I'd recommend the IPD variable voltage regulator. You can easily jack up the voltage to 14.2 or 14.5 volts, solves a lot of lighting problems. The later volvos were set to 14.5 I believe....judging from the parts fiche.
