Sev, wanted to reply last night, sorry got delayed.

Found the box, stamped:
GN858
0 100 226 234

However, checking the website, seems not a current number and list GD 382, 0 100 101 308. Here is where I ordered them from: Beru Parts.com Their email is sales@kingsborne.com, so maybe check see if the part was superseded. Consider I too had no part numbers, just ordered what the website said and no issues.

I recently bought a Bosch alternator regulator, which was made in China--I promptly returned them. Never had a problem with Bosch anything in the past, but heard good things about the Beru, so here I am asking about the part numbers

Thanks,

Sev

I too bought Beru as Tram one year earlier had put in Bosch and from day one had the glow light not staying on long enough and by nine months, was using the block heater to be able to start.

I heard of Beru lasting over 30 years, when three to four is what is normally expected. The Beru were still working when the wagon was totaled several years later.

Come in a carton of ten, wish had known as not usual and then have a set when in 20 or so years no longer available.

Hope this helps and you become a convert to Beru.
