Title: New starter motor/ alternator
Post by: walchy01 on 27 December 2010, 19:07

Evening all

Looking at spending even more cash on the girl :laugh:
Anyone know how much a new starter motor and alternator will put me back, and if they are still available at VW or even TPS...

Thank you

Are you sure that the alternator is knackered?

9 times out of 10 you just need to replace the voltage regulator if it fails or the brushes are worn.

Think GSF stock Bosch starter motors from around £80, better than the ECP 20% off  :smiley:

New alternator from GSF Bosch around 50 incl VAT - starter motor GSF Bosch 91 incl VAT (at 15%) - both on 'exchange'.

Don't forget to get a new bush for the starter motor where it fits into the gear box housing - I think GSF ones come with it. You should replace the alternater belt whilst you are at it as well.

Hope the weather is good for you when you do the job, -10 degrees is not pleasant!!!

Cheers
