DeLiSh Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have a 91 loyale with a failing volatage reagulator. Should I try and replace the voltage regulator inside the alternator or just get a new alternator. Thanks DelIsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 At least from subaru, the voltage regulator costs WAAAAY more than the whole alternator does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban32696 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I would have it rebuilt by a REPUTABLE shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hust get a replacement alt. I think the last one I replaced I got a remanufacyred from Advanced Auto parts, and it ran only about 50 or 60 bucks, and has a lifetime warrenty. Which is good, I seem to go through an alt every six months to a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStretch55 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Depends on your soldering skills. Shucks lists the regulator for about $35, so I'm sure if I go to my favorite automotive electrical parts/rebuilder I could probably get it for about $20. But, you need to be pretty good at soldering.
