Going to switch out my regulator (97 855 non-turbo) and the Huco unit FCP sent doesn't have the male plug lead that my Bosch unit does? Any ideas? Part # Huco 13-0559...

 

Not sure . . . when I go to FCP your regulator comes up as a 9130518 ???

Who looked up that number for you ??

 

When I searched 1997/Volvo/850/wagon/base/B5254/voltage regulator it shows me the Bosch unit that is in mine (520), the Volvo/Saab Bosch unit that looks like the Huco unit (smaller but very expensive), and the Huco unit for $54. I assumed any of the three would fit as I searched my particular car/year etc and heard good things about Huco so ordered it (it was also cheapest)... Apparently also fits V70/S70/C70.

Anyhow, apparently 850's built late in 1997 have a different regulator that has functions the early small units do not. They also apparently run at a lower voltage, 14.1 or something like that. Anyhow, long story short is I got the wrong one and am now thinking of just swapping the brushes from the huco into my Bosch as the brushes on the Bosch are worn to nothing and burnt to a crisp so would put money on them being my alternator issue...

 

Been there, done that. Still have a "spare" turbo charger inducer wheel that was supposed to fit my turbo
