| Briskodian | Re: alternator or battery Alternator. The regulator on the alternator should limit the maximum voltage to be less than 15. Above this voltage you will boil the battery, and may well damage expensive parts on the car (ECU). |

| Re: alternator or battery On some alternators you can replace the voltage regulator seperately (cheaper), dunno 'bout the octy tho' i'm afraid.

| Re: alternator or battery I would replace the alternator / regulator asap. Continuing to use the car with the voltage rising that high will kill the battery and damage the ECU and other voltage sensitive devices.

| Briskodian | Re: alternator or battery As you say, it would be easy to replace the regulator pack, if it was available anywhere. I got a "magneton" branded one from a good independent auto electrical shop for a fraction of the price Skoda wanted for the identical thing, but it was still over 100 UKP |
