Hello Afourians!
I have uploaded images of the alternator I am going to install on my A4.
Had it checked at an alternator shop. Tested good but the yellow wire befudled the "testor". What is it for? Tach? the alternator shop told me that if power was applied to the yellow wire that the output voltage quickly increased to 18 volts.....wuuuuut????
This alternator is off my spare A4 from a Pearson Triton. The altenator shop told me to attach the brown wire with the plastic terminal to the ignition and to connect the larger post to the battery bank. I plan to attach the positive out from the alternator to the + on the starter solenoid and use 10 gauge tinned wire with crimp on heatshrink terminals.
I plan to connect the brown "ignition" wire to the ballast resistor that goes to the distributor, to the "in " terminal or the upstream terminal on the ballast
Whaddya' think? - ELizabeth
