Well no, I haven't had it tested, but the alt ate a screw up and alts out here die all the time. All wires were secure, I know that much. As for the voltage regulator, I tried putting in a new one but once again the NAPA part didn't fit.

Subject: alt woes, desperate for help
I think fate has determined my scirocco will never run again. After
losing my alt yesterday, they ordered another. I was a bit suspicious
when the part was listed for 8 and 16v with ac as I remembered you all
said 8v 16v ones weren't compatible. Lo and behold, the alt that came in
today has way different mounting points. For some reaosn, the part # on
my old alt is listed as being for a Quantum and is also listed for over
$250. There are 2 junkyards around, though not real close by.
Unfortunately, the people at the dorms here with cars are exceptionally
stingy about loaning them out and neither yard is accessible by bus. I
need to have my car driveable by Monday morning so I can go get the
Saab. I have to pick up 2 friends in Denver for the week on Friday (not
this one, next one). I don't have a backseat and don't feel real secure
about ferrying them around without one as cops are quite abundant here.
I work 9-5 Sat and Sun so I would basically need an alt by tommorrow,
although I could work some time off from work over the weekend if I had
to. I really don't know what to do, I've been planning things around an
alt and now it's fallen through 3 times. The person selling the Saab has
been more than understanding but I can't keep delaying things before he
just says forget it. Please, anything you can do to help or any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I'm blatently begging here.
