Were the diodes and the regulator checked? That is usually an inexpensive swap.

Hi,

Since im still unable to get the PA Performance, I decided them to be checked and it ended to be the Diode Plate, they put a new one and also replaced the bearing, total 74dlls.

Im not sure how long does a new plate will last but im still trying to get the PA Performance.

Still worth to waste 300dlls to get the PA Performance or i can be safe with this fix ?

Thanks!

Thank! I hope no more issues with it, my brother is going to the states in a few months so I was planning to order the alternator so he can bring it to me...

I think i can spend that money in an other mod =)
