So Jezebel Jetta has an AC compressor... Which is kind of pointless given that the car doesn't have AC - I guess when the 1.6 got swapped in there they didn't bother finding the non-AC brackets.
Well my "AC Compressor", otherwise known as "Jack shaft for my alternator drive belt" seems to have toasted bearings. I can't even imagine trying to replace the stupid thing.
Anyone got a non-AC set of alternator brackets? Pretty please?
I saw one over on the vortex about a day ago. Not sure if its there or not still. Think it was in the diesel classifieds.
Unfortunately it was a "wanted: non-AC alternator bracket"... Seems I'm not the only one!
Interesting... I had misinterpreted the Vagcat page at first:
http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/VE/1988/77/57/874395/It looks like I do still need some bits of bracketry though. There's a brace on the bottom of the alternator for tensioning the belt that's unique to the non-AC cars, I think that's all I'll need in the end...
Looks like the bracket is available through WorldImpex too... Hmmm.........
