Owner reviews for alternator

My 93 vw cabriolet is running an oem alternator from the factory.

I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.

I ran the Toywagen with the waterpump and the crank. PS is only with the crank. I had to use a MK3 v-belt PS pulley for the waterpump as the stock one didn't align for some obscure reason. I have one of those aftermarket Bosch alts, so I had to put 2 washers to space the toyagen even more

Ive done it and it turned out awesommmmme

Bosch redesigned the alternator and they seem to last as long as the original factory warranty.

With the motor running, both low beams and high beams on, wiper on, rear brake lights on, heater fan at full speed and the stereo running at a good volume, the alternator provides 57 amps to the car at 13.5 volts.

Great seller, thank you for the parts.

non bosch reman alternators are the worst...they rarely last long, so you are having a typical experience changing them out all the time....lifetime warranty is nice with those cause they suck, period.

I had a Cougar (same underpinnings) and mine went through alternators like candy. I'm sure a better-designed aftermarket version would probably take care of it though.
