WTB: VW 1.6 NA diesel A/C Alternator top bracket
« on: May 03, 2022, 03:45:17 pm »
Im looking for the arm that hooks to the top of the engine and the alternator. I have AC and it seems theres a pulley below the alt that tightens the belt so the arm im looking for should be solid with no slot. Also if i could get a picture of where the bracket hooks on top of the engine that would be very helpful.

It bolts to the head, way to the left.
 Where the engine lift bracket goes or a hole just below it.
Got a part number?
171 903 1317A I found one.
Got all the other brackets, there are quite a few on the Mk2 with AC.

It looks like that part number has the slot to tension the alt. The ac bracket has a tensioner on it already for the alt belt. I managed to find a picture of an engine complete with ac and the alt bracket had no slot. Would i still be able to use the one with the slot along with the pulley on the ac bracket. I would have a lot of adjustment for the belt thats for sure. I just ordered the ac bracket so now all i need are the bolts for the ac compressor and the alt bracket.

 You are right this one has a slot in it.
 I was thinking that today, it's for a MK1.

If you got the one without the slot or if the one with the slot will work then ill definitly buy it.

Oh I thought you found one.
OK 068 903 251E
 Do you have the engine lift bracket that it bolts to?
It needs 2 holes near the bottom.
068? 103 390
I have them both.
Probably have an AC compressor (not sure it's good) and bolts too.

yea i have the engine lift bracket. Theres only one bolt holding it on looks like there was one that bolted torwards the bottom but it rattled out. If you have the alt bracket ill buy it. Seems the only place that has one in stock will take a month shipping so if your located in the US itll be a lot faster.
