- Condition: New
A battery warning light, dim or flickering headlights or a battery that keeps going flat can mean the regulator is worn, though a weak alternator or a tired battery can be behind them too, so find out which part is at fault first. If the regulator is the cause, this one replaces it. The 2000-2004 Jetta V6 2.8L takes one.
