Liam16v 10 Posted December 22, 2012 Hi , I have a problem with my alternator on a ABF engine, but my friend has a KR engine spare that i could have the alternator and belt off, could anybody tell me if they are the same before i try it? would be much appreciated thanks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 22, 2012 Cant see there being a problem provided the kr alternator will provide enough juice, and the pulleys are the same or swapped mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted December 22, 2012 Oh and the mounting points are the same too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Totally different afaik, Bosch alternator with v belt is nothing like the setup on a MK 3, you'd likely need everything off the 1.8, possibly including pas setup, it could be done but the mk3 system is much better and quieter so I wouldn't go back to the older setup. Alternator wiring connections are probably different too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
