BOSCH generator
The arrow indicates the location of the voltage regulator.
Alternator VALEO
The arrow indicates the location of the voltage regulator.
Depending on the equipment, generators from various manufacturers can be installed. Removal of graphite brushes from BOSCH and VALEO generators is possible with the generator installed. The length of the new brushes is 12 mm.
Removing
1. Disconnect ground cable (-) from the battery.
Attention! When the battery is disconnected, the memory of the radio receiver and electronic control units is erased. If the radio is coded, write down the radio code before disconnecting the battery. Without entering the code, after connecting the battery, the radio will not work.
2. Unscrew and carefully remove the voltage regulator on the back of the generator (2 screws).
3. Replace the graphite brushes if the length is 5mm or less after unsoldering the stranded wire first.
4. Check the wear of the collector, if necessary, grind and grind.
5. Clean the contacts, check the condition of the contact springs, replace the weakened ones.
Installation
1. Install graphite brushes (A) and springs (IN) into the brush holder (WITH) and solder the connections.
2. In order to prevent the solder from getting high on the stranded wire when soldering new graphite brushes, hold it with flat pliers.
Attention! The solder that has risen high makes the stranded wire stiff and the graphite brushes do not work.
3. The insulating hose of the stranded wire must be fixed near the solder point at the existing springs.
4. After installing new graphite brushes, check for ease of movement in the brush holder.
5. Fasten the voltage regulator first by hand with one screw, then carefully put it in place and fix it completely.
6. Connect ground cable to battery.
Attention! Connect the battery only when the ignition is off, otherwise the injection system control unit will fail.
7. Set clock time.
8. Enter anti-theft radio code.
