I don't see a Useful Thread for this, so...
My '98 EB isn't charging. I could swap batteries from one car to another once/week, and then let the other car (VW) charge the battery, swap back, etc...but this might be more of a PITA long term.
What tells the alternator to charge ? Hopefully not the GEM as mine is about DOA. Does this year have a built-in regulator in the alternator ? I'm used to old cars that have separate regulators.
Anyone swapped a 98 alternator on the 4.0 engine ?
I looked at the area and, do I have to take the water hose off too or just the air stuff above ?
Does anyone rebuild them, like the good ole days ?
