The internal type of a Volkswagen Beetle alternator regulator is located within the alternator and in some cases is replaceable. To replace the Volkswagen Beetle regulator you must remove the power form the battery. The preferred way is to just remove the ground or negative battery cable prior to servicing the Volkswagen Beetle alternator or regulator. If the regulator is internal and is not removable, then the entire Volkswagen Beetle alternator assembly will need to be replaced.
