p.s. There are some BRP & ALH motors that have non clutched Alternators :wink:
Quote from: "wizard-of-od"Unlike other spots on the web the idea here is to check the ego at the door and learn from each other, regardless of background. None of us work for VW as engine designers so everyone's opinion is just that... an opinion, and a valid one... when expressed respectfully.Everyone has a perspective... some may be closer to the truth than others... but in the end we're here to learn from each other. I'd respectfully ask that we all take the tone of this particular thread down a notch, recognize that there are many many ways to interpolate what was on the mind of those wacky VW designers, and carry on learning from each other. 'Nuff said... back to the discussion.:wink:
Well, you missed the ones that AutohausAZ.com is selling NEW for $65. :wink: :lol: (That's where the picture is snagged from...)Andrew
if that's the case, that would explain the ALH failure i've seen. those engines even have a smaller machined end for a quicker crank pulley death.
The Keyway is in the crank sprocket itself, not the serpentine pulley.That being said, yes the crank serp pulley shown is not what is typically found on the AAZ. Here is a pic of the typical pulley:Regardless, I don't see how the pulley design would have any effect at all on the failure.Andrew
Ok Ashley as made me aware of this thread as you guys are scaring her a little too much....
Wow... that is one clean Bunny!!
