The internal type of a Volkswagen Golf alternator regulator is located within the alternator and in some cases is replaceable. To replace the Volkswagen Golf 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 Golf alternator or regulator. If the regulator is internal and is not removable, then the entire Volkswagen Golf alternator assembly will need to be replaced.
