My 1992 2.0L CDiS has been showing the battery warning light on and off for the last 2 weeks.Volt reading 11.7 and dropping. I have replaced the auxiliary drive belt (manual adjustment not automatic tensioner)today. The old belt was in very poor condition with cracks all over the place and was slack. Tried out my new belt, properly tensioned of course! but voltage problem still remains .Can I now assume it is the regulator? and replace it? or just get a "new" alternator from GSF for £75.00 plus vat, if it is judged the regulator could it prove to be a false economy? GSF in Belfast say they don't stock the regulator so it is a dealer order. The unhelpful Saab parts Dept at Isaac Agnew Saab in Belfast quoted me £40.00 plus vat for the regulator ;which they initially said they don't have and tried to flog me a new alternator at well over £200.00
; and most annoyingly 7 to 10 days for delivery of the regulator to them from Sweden Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.Many thanks,
Colin
