Title: Help identifying a few misc parts
Post by: mtnbob on August 05, 2012, 09:34:10 pm

I have quite a few extra parts :o Some of the are due to my first motor having a/c and new motor not having a/c. I also received a bunch of new stuff with the purchase of an a/c compressor. Just wondering if I need any of this stuff. The two long flat bars are probably alternator mounts. The longer one looks like it works for my car, the shorter one I have no idea. The black bracket looks like it goes to my alternator, but not sure. I have one on the engine now that looks different. Any insight to what any of these do would be greatly helpful ;D

In the second photo the flatish bracket with two small holes and one large mounts near the injection pump/valve cover/timing belt cover and is for lifting the motor if I'm not mistaken, not terribly necessary.

I think you're on the right track with your alternator brackets and mounting arms. There are a lot of variants mkI, mkII, gassers, diesels, a/c and non a/c etc.

I agree, I know I will have some extra stuff, I just don't want to miss something important. That strange shaped bracket wouldn't even been a question except that it has a vw # on it and vw logo. No telling what it is 8)

Ty,  I guess that's why it was included, because it was an A/C part. I must not need it because I already have A/C installed on my car ;D
