Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, dimensions, and alternator application before ordering, especially on Audi 80, Audi 100, Audi 200, BMW 850i, BMW 850Ci, and Volkswagen Cabriolet fitments. Some listed vehicles include alternator-specific notes such as 90 Amp, 100 Amp, 110 Amp, or 140 Amp configurations, so matching the exact charging system is important. Because this unit is supplied without a connector, hardware, instructions, or mounting brackets, compare the original regulator and vehicle charging setup before installation.
