Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator P/N:VR-453
Help keep your charging system's output in check with the Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator VR-831. It is a direct-fit replacement for damaged original units and accurately regulates the charging voltage your alternator produces. It fits many Volkswagen and Audi models, among them the 2000-2011 Volkswagen Jetta, 2000-2009 Volkswagen Passat and 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The voltage regulator manages how much voltage the alternator sends to the battery and electrical system. Signs it may need replacing include dim or flickering lights, a lit battery warning light, or a battery that overcharges or won't hold a charge. The alternator, battery or wiring can cause the same signs, so diagnose the charging system first. If the original regulator is the cause, this unit replaces it.
