Hi guys,

I have an R32 GTST.

Seem to be having issues with my alternator and it not charging. Replaced the battery already, took the alternator out and changed the brushes thinking it might be them, but to no avail.

Was wondering anyone know where the voltage regulator sits on an RB20? Or better yet any suggestions on this matter. Just wanna look at all options before taking it to an Auto Electrician.

Cheers,

Tone

Regulator is built into the alternator. But probably just as cheap to replace outright than try and diagnose and fix.

As stated above its built in and they are worth more than getting another 2nd/new item.

Tone did you have the alternator bench tested whilst it was out to make sure it was charging ok???

This is Tony, my details through my home account aren't working at the moment.

To answer your question, no I didn't have the alternator bench tested, however i've just purchased another 2nd hand alternator for $60. Will put it in on the weekend and see how that goes.

Thanks for all your help guys.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
