\*\*NOS Genuine Bosch Voltage Regulator 0190600016 – Mercedes-Benz Porsche BMW VW Classics – OEM Quality\*\* Brand new, never installed \*\*New Old Stock (NOS)\*\* original \*\*Genuine Bosch\*\* voltage regulator (also known as dynamo regulator / generator control unit / 12V positive-ground regulator). Decades old but unused and in perfect condition – no corrosion, no burnt contacts, no cracked Bakelite housing, terminals clean and straight, internal components untouched, no signs of heat damage or previous use. \*\*Bosch Part Number:\*\* 0 190 600 016 / 0190600016 / 0190 600 016 \*\*Description & Function\*\* This is the classic \*\*Bosch 4TR-style voltage regulator\*\* used in many 1960s–1970s European classic cars with Lucas or Bosch dynamo (generator) charging systems (pre-alternator era). It mounts in the engine bay or under the dash and regulates dynamo output to maintain correct battery charging voltage (~14.2–14.8V), while providing cut-out protection to prevent battery discharge when the engine is off. The 4 terminals are typically: A (armature/dynamo), F (field), A1 (to battery/load), and D (dummy/earth on some setups). Very common failure on vintage Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, VW, and other Bosch/Lucas-equipped classics — symptoms when bad include: \- Battery not charging (low or dead battery after driving) \- Overcharging (boiling battery, burnt bulbs, high voltage) \- Charging light stays on or flickers \- Dynamo runs constantly or not at all \- Electrical system faults (dim lights, weak horn, etc.) \*\*Key Features\*\* \- \*\*Genuine Bosch OEM\*\* – original equipment supplier for Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, VW & many classics \- New Old Stock – \*\*NOS\*\* – never mounted or used \- Correct factory Bakelite housing with Bosch branding and 4-terminal layout \- Original internal points, coils, and bimetallic strip for precise regulation \- Direct replacement – bolts to original location with correct wiring \- Ideal for concours restorations, purists, or anyone wanting factory-correct charging system operation \*\*Condition\*\* New Old Stock – \*\*NOS\*\* – never installed or used. Stored in dry conditions. Bakelite housing flawless (no cracks or warping), terminals bright, internal points clean and properly gapped, no oxidation or damage. Photos show the actual regulator you will receive. \*\*Why buy NOS Genuine Bosch over aftermarket?\*\* \- Authentic Bosch points and coil quality – precise voltage regulation and cut-out \- Correct calibration for dynamo systems – no over/undercharging \- No risk of poor contact, weak regulation, or early failure common in reproductions \- Maintains original factory appearance and charging reliability – essential for concours or original-spec classics \*\*What’s included\*\* \- 1× Genuine Bosch Voltage Regulator (0190600016) \- \*\*No mounting screws, wiring harness, dynamo or battery\*\* included (direct replacement – bolts to existing bracket and wires to original terminals) Perfect replacement or spare for any classic Mercedes (W116, W123 early, W114/W115), Porsche 911 (early), BMW E3/E9/E12, VW Beetle/Bus, or other Bosch/Lucas dynamo-equipped classic owner restoring or troubleshooting charging issues. \*\*Shipping\*\* Fast & secure – well-packed (bubble wrap + small box to protect Bakelite and terminals).
