while yanking the idle switch off of it, I noticed that the local yard has a diesel jetta without AC.
it has the hard to find non AC alt and bracketry that puts the alternator downwards instead of up top.
if anyone needs/wants such a set of brackets/pulleys I could find out what they want for it.

Sure why not ?

If it's a MK2;
the main alternator bracket is the same,.. AC or not.
It's the alternator and lower adjuster bracket that are different.
If it's non-power steering; the u-joint and boot off the steering go for quite a bit on the vortex.
-
its a mk1, so it should be a different bracket(might be a motor swap, but will have to look further to tell)
good point on the steering shaft, I might have to grab that next time I am out there.
-
Manual steering on a MK1 is pretty common.
The A2s with manual steering,.. that's a little harder to find.
That MK1 alternator,and bracket should sell fast.
-
let me know...

I will give them a call tonight to see what they want for it, and I can head out and grab the parts on friday.
-Owen
-
Make sure to include the small upper bracket and adjuster bar,.. and include all the bolts; some are different than the AC bolts.
Might want to grab the waterpump and crank pullys too.
-
will def get the pulleys
this one has the tensioner bracket on the bottom, and it attaches to the alt bracket, not the head.
-Owen
-
this is relevant to my interests, but i've got a mk2, and have no idea if it's what i need or not.
argh!
-
I think the motor was from a MK2, it has the fuel return standoff on the pump, and a vane style vac pump.
I will take pics of it on friday when I head out that direction so you all can tell if it is what you want.
-
well, just got ahold of the shop with the alt and bracket, they say $120-ish(depending on what all I grab)
and I think I can cram it in a flatrate box to ship it, so how does $170 shipped(includes finders fee and fuel do go and get it) sound?
-Owen
-
ah jeeze,
i just screwed up my trans really badly,
i'm rebuilding another one right now,
and my a/c delete cash just became emergency parts grab cash.
thanks for your time dude, i'm sorry to waste it. :-\
-
nah, no waste.
I will still be grabbing the alt and bracket, so if anyone wants it they can have it.
if I still have it when cash i easier to come by you can have it ;)
-

That's a non-AC MK2 setup.
The alternator has the bigger pivot bolt,...
and 65 amp alternator,
instead of the 55 amp A1.
A non-AC, A1 alternator bracket has a longer upper bracket.
I'm going to try an A2 setup on my next Rabbit.
I think the bracket sets the alternator over closer to the timing belt,.. so the neck doesn't need to be as long.
A1 setups don't seem to get the alternator over there far enough to line up properly.
Hey, and you can use power steering with this bracket,.. that's what I caught first,..
thought oh, wow a non-AC, A1 bracket with power steering hole. Rare, but I have one.
-
yeah, I think the jetta had a MK2 motor transplanted into it.
still a nice piece!
-
Yeah, it might work better on an A1,
than the stock A1 setup.
I'm using one of these on my next Rabbit diesel.
-
well, its still for sale!

bump.

You know the bracket its self is the same as the AC bracket. The only difference is the Alternator ears are 180* out and the steel arm with the teeth (which is the same as the gassers)
I have 5 of those damn brackets..and I dont know why.
I USED to have a Mk1 non ac bracket..its tiny. But its probably chillin out in my basement with my PP stage 2 cam.
-
I've had a hard time getting the A1 non-AC alternator setup pullys to line up.
The A1 alternator neck is really long, but not long enough,.. belts were wearing out fast because of poor alignment.
I'm putting one of these A2 setups on my next Rabbit.
I know it sets the alternator closer to the timing belt side of the engine so should work better.
Another improvement they made from the A1 to the A2.
-
well, this setup is currently on my car, and doing well.
I have no alignment issues, the alt works well and it is remarkably simple to install and setup.
for now it is not for sale, as I have it installed on my rig, but come fall(when I will be in a new car) they will be back up for sale.

Ahhh, good thing you didn't sell it. :)
