What alternator will fit?
« on: 06 March 2007, 22:58 »
I have a 1990 8v GTI Digi....what alternators will fit and work on it, any from a MK3 GTI, MK2 GTI 16v etc? Its just that trying to find an alternator for a 1990 8v GTI is proving tricky, so if any other Golf alternator will fit it will make my search so much easier!

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

only 8v ones will fit, the 16v ones are different.  A passat is more likely to have a bigger alt, and diesels as said.
Make sure its around the same era as your MK2, the later ones are completly different!
