Alternative alternator wiring HELP!!

(1/2) > >>

fasthands:
Hi folks I am in need of some advice on alternator wiring, I have fitted the 200 tdi engine and the alternator has different connections. the loom on the 90 has the black plastic block with two thick brown wires and a thin wire, but the alternator on the 200tdi has a connection on the back which is a 8mm thread and a connection that is a 6mm thread,also a little black box with a spade connector. how do I connect my loom to this alternator? can anyone draw a diagram for me.
I started the engine for the first time today what a relief  :D  :D  well happy with how it has turned out just got to sort this wiring out so I can take it for the mot [-o<  [-o<

Ok, you should usually have 3 wires to the alternator, the battery feed, the one from the ignition light which you can find with a meter, the rev counter and perhaps a supressor (little black box perhaps?).

Can't tell you the colours off the top of my head but the thick one is obviously the battery, then look for a wire that's live with the ign on but the engine not running and connect this to the field or exitation.

If you know electonics at all the alternator comes from a single phase tapping out of the 3 phases on the alternator, so will show some sort of continuety with the battery terminal.

Perhaps the eaiest way though is to have a look inside, the ignition lamp wants connecting to the voltage regulator.

the 90 wire connection is two thick wires 1 thin connect 2 thick wires together they go on 8 mm thread post the one thin 1 goes on 6 mm post  :D

wot he said

had the same problem on mates 110 and did exactly that

fasthands:
I have done that and the batt light is still glowing on the dash when the engine is running, do you think it could be the regulator? but it is a brand new alternator!!!
And would it be possible to connect a rev counter to this alternator?
