standard alternator amp
« on: 16 July 2013, 08:40 »
Good morning,

I need to replace the alternator on my Mk1 Golf GTI Cabrio,  1.8i DX engine,   My mate has one that he says came off a 1.8 mk1 which is 55 amp,  is this enough for a standard car?

There are no additional electrics on the car, other than electric windows.

Many Thanks
Wilson

iirc when mine went i just exchanged it for a 90amp one from a motor factors, the original i had was a 65a i think, i think the 55a was from non injection models
