Alernators - Where to get more powerful ones
« on: 22 August 2005, 14:09 »
Hi guys

I believe my standard GTI 8v alternator is 65amps, where can I get one of 90+ from that will bolt straight in and any idea of how much it could affect petrol consumption?
I have seen them at GFS or Eurocarparts but they don't seem to be Bosch items and preferably want something reliable and will last for a while at least.

Did this on mine not long back came from a Corrado, G60 or 16v ones have 90 amp alternators find one in a scrappy if u can :D when you do let me know where it is so I can come pilfer bits! :D they bolt straight on easy enough and stop your headlights dimming when you put your windows up and down :D :D :D

I got one from my local alternator/starter motor repair guy brand new for about £120. It basicly looks the same and wont affect your petrol consumption at all.
