1997 Volvo 850 t5 Question regarding voltage regulators.

Post by MatDesign84 »

Hi, I need to replace my voltage regulator and I know I should get bosch but I can not really afford right now. I shop at fcpeuro.com they came up with these search results. I guess I am asking has anyone had any bad luck or anything to say about the Huco brand? http://www.fcpeuro.com/Volvo-parts/850? ... =209&e=152

I just bought a Bosch VR for my wife's 2001 V70 from autopartswarehouse.com for $57.00 and free shipping. You may want to check them out for yours.

Thank you for the German info. I'll stick with FCPGroton. They provide great service, never send the wrong part, match prices and take extra off, and have a lifetime warranty on everything they sell.
