Re: 6 Volt assistance Sean do you have access to Volkswagen 6 volt regulators Bosch? Can't find any in France or the net for that matter. Even Traction folks ain't very helpful ( Paris-Rhone or Ducellier) Bought 6 of these but they are all shit. 4 are not working 1 is sparking when battery is connected, last one is over heating and cutting out at 8 volt.

Re: 6 Volt assistance Viking, have you thought about switching to an electronic regulator? http://www.dynamoregulators.com/dvr3.phpMaybe worth contacting them, even if just to find out whether or not their product has previously been fitted to an old Citroen... ken

Re: 6 Volt assistance Thanks guys
Ken the ''new'' electronical regulators are not meant for Dynamos with DC current but AC current according to a Dutch sparkie I just spoke to.
I've found a replacement regulator fitted on TA in Holland. Expect it to land soon. Will report back.
Also D models and Tractions down under are fitted with 6 volt Bosch regulator. Will properly order some in Oz.

Re: 6 Volt assistance Viking, are you quite sure he's a sparkie?  Maybe something got lost in translation but by definition, dynamos produce direct current whereas alternators produce alternating current (although for automotive applications the AC is rectified to DC by the diode pack inside the alternator casing. ) ken 2CViking wrote: Thanks guys
