DIY Change of the generator´s circuit control

Hi all, my first thread in here and directly a DIY :-) I may introduce myself shortly: -Aged 37, owning my 4th Porsche (now a red 996 3.4 X51), living in germany near Cologne I recently had to change the circuit-control of the car´s generator and made a little photo-session out of it. Perhaps this DIY helps some of you guys with the same problem . CU Andre (AZEG)

Great writeup!

I have experienced a generator/alternator failure. The first sign of a problem was about 10K miles ago with the car having an occasional dead battery, perhaps once every 1000 miles. The gen/alt always checked out OK. The problem was remedied by using a trickle charger. Now the unit is in total failure. How do I determine if only the circuit control needs replacing or the entire generator/alternator?

To make this DIY more easily searchable for American users, I'm putting in these words:

 

Alternator Repair

 

Replacing Voltage Regulator 

 

Andre is German so he uses "generator" and "control circuit".
