davidwort 0 Posted March 29, 2005 my alternator on my 2lit 16v has started howling when warm apart from that it charges fine does anyone know if it is possible to change the bearings yep, it is, but not very cost effective these days, worth finding a few engineering firms from yellow pages etc.. and asking what it would cost to do. A second hand one off a Passat 16v cost me 10 quid the other week though! David. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted March 29, 2005 I have a spare alternator from a 1.8 16v, if it's compatible with a 2.0 16v, it's all yours for the cost of postage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will swap over but the 2.0 generally came with a 90Amp unit, most 1.8's have the smaller 65amp one, not so good for powerful ICE setups! David.
