I am getting an occaisional over voltage on cold starting (peaking at 17v) which trigers srs, light sensor and stability control warnings which all reset (apart from the light sensor) within a few seconds as the voltage stabilises at 14-14.5v.
I am assuming the voltage regulator is intermittently faulty.
The car is a C200k coupe 2003. with a valeo alternator. Does anyone know where I can get a voltage regulator for this alternator, or is there any other voltage regulator fitted in the car?
I did go to an auto electrician but am stil waiting for him to call back!!
I would have it checked on star but the last time it was checked for another fault the indy discovered that numerous things could not be read, which he thought was a fault in the ignition switch. I am unwilling to spend £500 on an EIS when everything else seems okay for the moment
Thanks
