1982 240D Dead and dying battery
Over the weekend I started my 1982 240D, 157K miles, and I noticed that the starter turned the engine over at a slower rate. Today I got stranded in my 240D – no start, battery almost dead.
Jumped it, got it home and put a voltmeter across the battery while the car was running and saw only 11.4 volts.
My question: 11.4 volts is not good, correct. Does this necessarily mean the voltage regulator or should I look somewhere else before replacing the voltage regulator.
One more tidbit of information: I replaced the alternator in 2000 with 117K miles on the car.
Thanks very much,
Zill.
