WTB: OEM voltage regulator


Stein-man

Recommended Posts

I think I have solved my "battery not holding charge" problem - new alternator and VR!  I have ordered the alternator from a friendly vendor.  My electrical contact in Denver tells me that one can't check to see if a VR is good with a voltmeter, one needs a VR tester.  In order to keep my car looking stock, I am seeking at least one Bosch (?) VR.  Since they are hard to test, I probably want to get TWO and take them to see my man with the VR tester, hoping that one will be good.  Thank you!

Hello,

I have two of these old school long Voltage Regulators.  Bosch number 0190600016 and 0190601006

Pics below. Both used, worked when removed 15 - 20 years ago, now, I have no way to test them as I am retired.

I loaned one out to a mechanic friend a couple of years ago as a tester and he said it worked, but sold the customer a new one.

One is in a box marked 2002 Tester.  SOLD

If I got a car in that wasn't charging,

I'd plug the tester in and add a jumper ground wire from the mounting tab to the neg. bat.  terminal to check the alternator. 

I worked on and owned 02's an E9 and also worked on VWs so can't say for sure if this is a VW or BMW Regulator.

In my experience they were all pretty interchangeable as long as you are using with the standard alternator. Possibly the E9 had a regulator with the green wrapping instead of yellow...

Having star washers on the mounting screws help because as inferred above, the unit Must be properly grounded to work correctly.

I'm asking $30 each plus shipping call it $8 in a small prepaid box if you are in the U.S. w paypal friends or add their fee.

If you want 'em both I'll do $60 Shipped w friends or add their fee.

Let me know if interested. Thanks.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
