Subject: New Alternator has Integrated Regulator  Models: 911 1982

Bulletin Number: 82 – 02

A new-type alternator, Part No. 911.603.120.04, with an integrated regulator, is now installed instead of the former version, Part No. 911.603.120.02, which used a separate regulator. The regulator on the new version, Part No. 911.603.913.01 is located on the back of the alternator and can be replaced separately. Mounting bolts on the alternator and can be replaced separately. The threads on the alternator shaft for installation of the pulley have also been changed from M 16 x 1 to M 17 X 1.5.

The hub extension (air guide) has been modified to provide an opening for the regulator. The battery charge indicator lamp is changed from 2 W to 4 W, and the DF wire was removed from the engine wire harness.
