AL82 Alternator fault
Hi guys, I have an AL82 12v internal regulated alternator, the 12v feed through the idiot light is fine. When you start the car up the light goes out
but not putting out any charge?
I pulled the brushers out and tested omhs resistance over the 2 slip rings and got 2.9. anyone know what this should read or any other tests i can do
on it.

The rotor very rarely fails so 2.9 ohms sounds OK.
It's usually the diodes or regulator that go.
It could be a power diode defective.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

I bought a genuine internal reg through Amazon, $11.00, i was quoted $60.00 for a second hand one in Australia, i just googled the part number and
they came up as available.
Is this the one you have, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Volkswagen-Beetle-Karmann-Ghia-Thing-71-79-Voltage...
