WANTED Bosch Type 4 Alternator.

Mine is on a 2.0 L it has an external reg. I need a new one.

 

Check out VWH and buy their more expensive one. I opted for the cheaper unit as regretted it ever since. I have since returned its faulty carcass and got the better unit.

 

VWH do a 70 Amp reproduction unit is it any good?

 

You need a different pulley for the 70 amp and the cooling boot and possibly even the tin if I remember correctly, unless that is what you already have

 

Much cheaper to fix your broken one...

 

Cheers guys I think I'll just fix mine as you say, its always worked well in the past.

 

AVOID IT!!!!!!! It caused me no end of problems because it started to over charge. Fried: ignition switch, 2 coils, a regulator, points a condenser and fuel pump. Sounds a little at fetched and I may get shot down for it but since I fitted one that is what I had to replace to make my bus reliable again.

Go for the Bosch unit. I did look to getting my old one refurbed but the Bosch shop wanted more than a new unit.

 

Advice taken, I'll get my old one repaired
Cheers Birdy.
