[s-cars] Re: Low voltage reading

[Calvin & Diana Craig]

Shawn,

Be sure to check the voltage with a real multimeter....the voltage gauge on
my '91 200 reads 1 to 1.5 volts low....yours sounds more significant than
that so it probably is an alternator problem but nonetheless it doesn't hurt
to verify.

Probably time for a rebuild of that seven-year-old alternator, Shawn.  Look
for a Bosch repair shop (or bring it with you on your next trip to
TC:  There's a good shop here that's got two generations of repairmen
who've been working on Bosch stuff here for years and years.  I took in my
200q20v alternator in the morning and had it back on the car in the
afternoon).
