Recently did an AC delete on my mk1.

Still have the alternator from the AC set up, it works.

$30 + shipping.

located near twin cities area

FWIW, a/c alternators are bigger, and more powerful than the non a/c alts..

yep, i believe the AC one is 90amp,

good alternator for anyone adding AC to their car.

i added the a/c alt to my car just to get rid of the 65a stock alternator.. i hate the style of the plug that hooks to the alternator, seen too many of them burned up..

plus, it made the car charge at a higher voltage at idle..

Aren't the holes for the mounts for the 65 compared to the 90 different though?

90 amp alternators weren't available on 1.6 diesel engines until 1985...i.e., MK2 models. Your AC alternator is a 65 amp unit. The only diff between that AC alt you have and a non AC unit is the location of the mounting holes on the housing. But just to be safe, do you have the part number to the AC alternator?

okay, thank you I'll get the part number tomorrow then.

So my AC one for sale is a 65a (unless part number identifies it differently)

[ilikevwdiesel]

if you post the part number I will look it up on the ETKA and find out the amperage.

correct, i forgot that the mk1s only had 65a units.. and the difference is the mounting tabs..

I forgot to grab the part number and pictures, but i did notice it has a W terminal on it.

I can also throw in some brackets for the AC compressor and alternator tension piece for free.
