Solution: VW has installed various series resistors for the excitation current of the alternator throughout the entire construction period. This may cause the behavior to change with the new board. | Solution: VW has installed various series resistors for the excitation current of the alternator throughout the entire construction period.

Cause: Although you can also retrofit a DZM wonderfully with the kit. But unfortunately you can’t just take any DZM. Since the board does not modify the signal, the DZM must already be suitable for the engine. | Cause: Although you can also retrofit a DZM wonderfully with the kit.
