Hello Folks,
Finishing up the 1.9TD in my Vanagon..  Actually got to drive a mile or so
today.  Man !! you can really fell when the turbo kicks in

Lots more work to do yet.  I am not charging properly at this time.  There
is a "W" pin at the back of the Motorola 50 amp alternator.
With the Alt. connected tot eh battery properly, the alt will not charge the
battery.  How ever if I apply battery voltage to the "W" pin for 1 second
or so the alt. will charge ok.

I ihave heard that this pin is used for a tachometer input in the Diesel
cars. Is this so or does it need to get a quick pulse of battery voltage to
turn on the regulator circuit in the alt.

Bentley is of no help... I also checked some of my earlier Rabbit books

Thank you

Paulc
