BMW alternator comes with voltage regulator, just have it replaced and you are as good as new. Google about the faults caused by faulty regulator and you can identify the symptoms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cno3vBj2_so

what are the symtom if voltage ragulator going to kaput? and how to identify?

 

[anaksarawak]

Unstable idle, light dim as voltage dropped, engine can't maintain a smooth cruise

I am not sure where to find the replacement regulator beside chop shop, Bavarian auto said they need to order and can't quote me yet

I bought it off a guy who sells his homemade VS on lowyat.net. Might have given me slightly better fuel consumption, but could be also be attributed to a slight change in route on my daily commute. Then I changed my VANOS seals and my fuel consumption improved further. Mine's a manual so I can't comment on the improvement in automatic gearshifts. Other effects aren't apparent to me.

im my view these after market VS things are like the other things that you put in the petrol tank to 'align molecules' for increased MPG etc, just a gimmick----- if your alternator is in good nick, and your earths are clean and tight you will get all the benefits as described for the after market VS !--------- apart from 'increasing torque' that is !!

Alternator - new and old

Just a few days back, I was enquiring at a PJ stockist: E36 new alternator is like RM1,100, while a recond unit goes for RM380.

Call Master Alternator at SEA Park, PJ at 03-7876 2223.

 

[anaksarawak]

recond unit RM380 is very fair

Is it near KFC there ? I have changed e36 alternator which very near the KFC Sea Park. After installed the recond alternator around 1 week. I found out that the alternator not enough charge. The boss of the shop refused to change it and keeps on said the alternator is working fine. After 1 month the alternator is dead then i asked him to change but he dosent wants to change it.
