Alternator cross range fitment

[dragon green 5]

Where is the Amp output marked on the alternator ?

Mines a Bosch,but without taking it off,is there another way of finding out ?

Reason for asking,i should have my heated leather working this week,and suddenly thought is my alternator 65 amp or 90 amp.

Thanks in advance

If you get a torch out you should be able to see a sticker on top of it with the info needed

88-92 passat 16v alternator is the same, golf mk2 16v ones are all 65amp and later VW's use different alternators.

8v alternators have a different casing/mounting although the internals are the same.

Thanks David, did they fit 90amp ones to the 88-92 Passats ?

Or have i got to go custom,like Brise ?

Cheers

Edit- just found some 90amp passat ones on e-bay

I was gonna say I just ordered a 90amp alternator through B&B Components in Maidstone and all I had to do was swap the pulley.
