Is the voltage regulator on my '79 Mercedes Benz 450SL integrated into the alternator?
If it isn't in the alternator then where is it located? I don't see anything on or near the fire wall that resembles any voltage regulator that I have seen in the past & I need to get it checked out because I am having to jump start my car almost every time it sits more than an hour or so. PLEASE no SMART *** answers I need to get this car running & can't pay a garage $80.00per hour to do it. I have always done my own mechanics before & am very good at it but this is a Benz & is all new to me. I need help!!
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agoPossibly out of time?
My car has been having a problem, it is a '79 Mercedes Benz & it died while I was driving it one day. I have replaced the coil & the fuel pump & filter & fuel pump relay. I can get it to start & run but when I put it in gear it dies. In order for me to get it to start I had to advance the timing is my problem most likely that the car has jumped time or is there something else that I am missing that I could fix myself, I am a fairly good mechanic but I have never owned a Benz before & the Mercedes place wants $140.00 just to look at it & unfortunately I don't have that kind of money right now because I am going through chemo therapy for cancer. So if there is any one out there that can help me here I would greatly appreciate it. AND AGAIN NO SMART *** ANSWERS PLEASE!!!
