It's not worth it anymore to replace just the voltage regulator, at least if you have to pay someone to do it since the alternator has to come loose anyway and the rear cover removed to get to the regulator.
It also seems to be less problems with the regulator compared to the old 900/9000 days when we used to replace them and get the alternator to work again.
Now it seems to be more of bearing problems and diode problems than the regulator and since it cannot easily be swapped in as in the 900/9000 days, it is not worth it.
