dash voltage stabiliser transistor

[bluket25]

well think i need a new voltage stabilizer in dash. so have read up a few forums and thoght i could get one at maplins but no they dont do one. did ring vw but the guy i spoke to didnt have a clue what i was on about. so i hung up. any way i think ive found some after a lil reserch. for 50p. only thing is the pins are at the opposite ends so will have to put it in up side down and a washer to pick up space to reach heatsink if know what i mean. any way item number ( kca 7810 )at http://www.farnell.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not only do we know it, we're already discussing it:

Available easy enough - pity you don't need a 7812 - I've a bag of 50 sitting on my workbench! I would make sure that you get a 1.5A one not 1A to give you leeway.(I don't know what rating the original is)
Plenty on Ebay.

For those that did not know this, it works fine. I have used that trick more than once on various VW's

The only thing against those ones is that they are the 1A variety not 1.5A.

Good point - I will C&P that onto the other thread.

Wonder how much current the fuel and temp gauges use, best to err on the safe side tho

I don't know either that is why I suggested use the 1.5A - I couldn't find a datasheet for kca7810, assuming that was the original part no..
