i agree with ben and, brian. i've had multiple alternators / voltage
regulators go bad on 505 turbo's..
i'm honestly done when it comes to fooling around with alternators on
these cars. i've had them rebuilt, at different places, and still had
problems. (i dont know if this is just bad luck or what). Getting
stranded some where because of alternator failure isn't fun at all
(i've had it happen, in the middle of oregon). If i get a new
alternator for a 505, its a new valeo unit.
