Hi all, I've brought a remanufactured alternator from a company near me for my rebuild , and it fits lovely but I have a couple of questions. Firstly the new alternator uses a euro plug for the wires and my 200 tdi has ring terminals on the wires, I no the brown/yellow trace wire for the warning light goes in the smaller space on the end but I only have 1 large brown wire does this go in the middle or end space for the battery positive? or does it not matter.
Secondly as in the picture below in the bottom right there is a ring terminal marked up as auxiliary battery positive or split charge relay, as I am fitting a split charge kit instead of fitting the positive from the relay to the main starter battery do I fit it to this terminal instead ? Also there is a negative terminal at the top do I need to eath it as well ?
cheers Ian
