Dazz Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 As title, trying to get prices for a new alternator to replace my knackered one most places are asking for the part number. Part number asap if anyone has it??Also does the GTI use a 70 amp or 90 amp one?Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 The GTI uses both. I think the aircon version had the 90amp and non aircon 70ampOff VAGCATalternator and single partsalternator / 70A 1047903015QalternatorBOSCH / (1)047903015QXalternatorBOSCH / (1)047903018 XalternatorVALEO / (1)037903018BXalternatorVALEO / (1)037903018CXalternatorVALEO / (1)038903018KXalternatorBOSCH / (1)038903018MXalternatorBOSCH / (1)06B903018RXalternatorBOSCH / (1)030903023EXalternatorVALEO / (1)037903023QXalternator / alternator / VALEO 90A (1)038903018alternator with terminal -w-BOSCH / (1)038903018 Xalternator with terminal -w-BOSCH / (1)038903018AalternatorBOSCH / (1)038903018AXalternatorBOSCH / (1)047903018AalternatorVALEO / (1)047903018AXalternatorVALEO / (1)038903018CalternatorBOSCH / (1)038903018CXalternatorBOSCH / (1)06B903018KXalternatorVALEO / (1)038903018LXalternatorBOSCH / (1)06B903018MXalternatorVALEO / (1)037903023GXalternatorVALEO / (1)036903024alternatorBOSCH / (1)028903025PalternatorBOSCH / (1)028903025PXalternator / alternator / BOSCH 110A (1)036903018alternator / also use:BOSCH 038 903 119 B / (1)036903018 Xalternator / alternator / BOSCH 120A (1)038903018BXalternatorBOSCH / (1)045903023AalternatorBOSCH / (1)045903023AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Cheers Mike, i am struggling getting the thing off the car, seems that the last bolt catches on the chassis leg. Have you done a change before and do you need to drop the engine? If so what's the best way to so this? Undo engine mounts while jacking the engine for support?

Mike_M Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I believe you have to loosen the top left mount a little, which allow the engine to drop enough to release the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yey alternator out the car! Tomorrow shall be spent finding some decent prices! What a faff though took about 3 hours, would say a mere hour if I was to do it again, now I know what to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Good job. Was it as I described or more to it. I know if you have air con it is even more of a pain in the @rse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yeah was pretty much as you described,supported the sump and dropped the engine about 20mm or so and voila it was out. Was only a faff as i didn't know what to do really! GSF are the cheapest for a Bosch unit @ £108.50 + Surcharge so i think i will go with them.

Mike_M Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Yours is a Bosch then?The Lucas items have a removable voltage regualtor where the Bosch does not. Its cheaper in the long run if it packs up again, as Lucas provide replacement regulators. I was happy to find out my GTI had the Lucas version Edited April 9, 2010 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ah right, the Lucas unit is £11 dearer than the Bosch, how much ate the regulators if you know?Just I can get a Bosch unit this afternoon otherwise I have to wait until after the weekend for a Lucas one.

Mike_M Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The replacement lucas regulators cost between £20 and £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Well that settles it then Lucas it is. I take it the Bosch units have solid state regulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Not sure, just know they cannot be removed liked the Lucas ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Alternator is all in now, car runs fine, but the belt is rather squeaky? NEver did this with the old alternator and the belt seems tight enough. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Good workGet a new belt for the sake of £7ish mate. Mine made some mad noises and one new belt later was quiet as a mouse. Edited April 15, 2010 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ah right that will most likely be my problem then. The belt was off for about a week without any tension so maybe its just gave up on life. I shall sort this out soon! Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadeemaashraf Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 So you can put a A120 in? I have a non a/c got so it’s only A70. Any benefit in getting a huge alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
