Ok, i have a new problem to solve in my 16v.
The alternator is giving too much voltage when i press the acelerator (about 18V), and today the front lights got burned.
Can the BX 1.4 or 1.6 alternators be mounted on the 16v engine, or is it necessary some special alternator for the 16v engine?
I have in home one from the 1.8Turbo Diesel BX, so can it work with no problem in the 16v engine?

robin, i assume thats quite an early 405 then, the later internal fan alternators wont fit as best i can tell? Would be nice if they can as i'll be off to get a 120amp alternator of a Xantia
When we last covered this topic, i thought we found that only 16v aircon models have the 80 amp alternator? Either way its still the regulator thats gone, and they can be bought as a swappable part and repaired your self.
