waynos 0 Posted November 21, 2006 can alternators from different makes of car fit my 1.8 16v? my crappy 65 amp one is not up to the job of keeping my battery charged ( due to ice install) also what would happend if a high rating alternator eg 120 amps was fitted? would it fry my electronics?

davidwort 0 Posted November 22, 2006 yea but i cant seem to find one, vw want silly money and all the other places work on an exchange basis Can't be that difficult to find, I bought one off a passat 16v for a tenner a few months back. Or you could buy a whole passat for 50 quid! - personally I think it's overpriced :lol: e-bay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
