Hi everyone
I've got a little prob, i've changed the alternator on my 1992 200tdi , well im in the process of doing it but i can't remember where the two small black boxes connect to, one is pulgged into the rear or the alternator and the other is connected to the white/grey lead, any and all help greatly appreciated cheers

Anyone ??? please

hmm, just refitted min today after doing the power steering pump and only had on box that connected to the bottom on the rear?? any pics or elaborate a bit more?
mine had that box i just mention which has like a spade connector earth comming off it, the live, and a thinner wire which leads over the other side

hi raz, i believe my alternator is a lucas a127 (?) at the rear there are 3 screw posts and as you are looking at the rear there is a small brown wire with a ring connector which fastens to the right, a thicker brown wire which fastens in the middle and a small white/grey wire that fastens to the left, from that one there is a loop of white/grey wire with a spade connecter on it that changes to a black wire with a black box on it marked 02-92 with a ring connector on it , there is also another one of these next to the thick brown lead, this one plugs into the alternator itself again its marked 02-92 with a ring connector. i believe that the white one is used to power my rev counted and i think the other one is a supressor of some sort.
sorry its long winded but i hope this helps a bit
