About a year ago, I purchased and had installed (I didn't install myself) a bosch 130-amp alternator in my 2000 9-3 base model 5-door (140,000 miles).
I had noticed the lights dimming (a little, but noticeably) when I rolled down the windows or used some other electrical device.
I replaced the alternator thinking that the voltage regulator was most likely an integral component.
I'm still experiencing the issue and now understand that the VR is at least replaceable on its own without replacing the whole alternator.
My question is if anyone knows if the bosch 130-amp alternator avaialable from eeuroparts (that's the one I purchased) comes with a new VR. If not, I assume that the person who installed it just took the VR from the old alternator. That could explain why I didn't see an improvement.
