GSF alternators

[daniel-1986]

are these new or reconditioned as i need to get a new one next week

[Jay]

Pretty sure they're new, but not VW Genuine.
You could find a cheaper one in the scrappy or in the Classified section here.

[daniel-1986]

it would be pot luck if i got one from a scrappy. i went to volksbits and they are charging £85 inc VAT

[topher]

the one in brum yeah? best to ring them as they have different prices, they offer recon ones on a part exchange basis so they're cheap but guaranteed.

[daniel-1986]

is that GSF in castle vale or volksbits on the pershore road in stirchley

[topher]

at the vale, but if you're over that way try carspares too on the kingsbury road, right up by the tyburn end

[daniel-1986]

i pass carspares every time i go to the midsdubclub meets and never noticed it but there is a car spares just up the road from so i will try them first, plus would i need to take my old alternator with me or can i buy the new one and bring the old one back after fitting it

[topher]

the way it used to work, you pay a surcharge (about 40 quid) and you get that back when you take them the mullered one.

[daniel-1986]

ill try that next thursday

[mattneck(Beavis)]

make sure no little ribby bits on it are broke or any mount corners or anything.. weve had one refused at work after sending it back because one spline bit/vent bit on side.. was gone
