Keep your Volkswagen's charging system in check with the Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator VR-126. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1967-1969 Volkswagen Beetle (H4-1.5L), 1970-1979 Volkswagen Beetle (H4-1.6L), 1967-1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (H4-1.5L), 1970-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (H4-1.6L), and 1971-1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle (H4-1.6L). Each listed application uses one.
Core job: regulates the charging system's output voltage, holding it within the intended range so the battery and electrical components aren't over- or under-supplied.
Protects the system: by controlling output, it helps guard the battery and connected electronics against excessive charging voltage.
Direct-fit replacement: installs on the listed Volkswagen applications above.
Signs the regulator may need replacing include a battery that won't stay charged, lights that dim or flicker as engine speed changes, or a battery that runs hot from overcharging. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the charging system before replacing — if a failed voltage regulator is the cause, this VR-126 replaces it.
Manufacturer part number: VR-126 (also VR126).
