VAG-hag 0 Posted March 14, 2013 Made a bit of a boob tonight and boke some bits inside my alternator. Will any 70a vw unit fit or does anyone know which others cars alternators would suit a vr?. Also has anyone taken one apart successfully to paint them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted March 14, 2013 It was my understanding that vrs with no air con had 70a ones? ---------- Post added at 7:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:56 PM ---------- Or maybe storms with heated seats have 90s.......? Anyone know if 70a will do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nrc 0 Posted March 15, 2013 For info, from a scrappy I got a 120A unit from a Golf VR6. Straight swap for the 70A I had which probably should have been a 90A since I've got a dealer-fitted A/C setup - but you never know what those dealers were up to!
