I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.
I ran the Toywagen with the waterpump and the crank. PS is only with the crank. I had to use a MK3 v-belt PS pulley for the waterpump as the stock one didn't align for some obscure reason. I have one of those aftermarket Bosch alts, so I had to put 2 washers to space the toyagen even more
Ive done it and it turned out awesommmmme
Bosch redesigned the alternator and they seem to last as long as the original factory warranty.
With the motor running, both low beams and high beams on, wiper on, rear brake lights on, heater fan at full speed and the stereo running at a good volume, the alternator provides 57 amps to the car at 13.5 volts.
Yes a VR6 alternator will work on an ABA. But you need to know the difference between a Valeo 90A pulley and a Bosch 90A. They are not interchangeable.
Bought a '91 XE 5 speed in 1996. Sold in 2000. Took it from about 60K to 150K. Pros: Gas Mileage--High 30s, never saw 40 like some people. 5 speed helped keep it peppy. Anvil like reliability. Replaced alternator and clutch.
I got mine in and running Perfect for people who need a little more room running ITBs It even charges better than my rebuilt bosch did (hitting 14v)
Whithin the past year the car has had a new bosch alternator. I jump the car, it makes between 12-13 volts at the battery when running.
My newly remanufactured Bosch 120amp alternator was extremely hot last night on the end of a 500 mile trip. Alt light never came on, all electricals were good, but there was a burning smell form the vents that seemed to be coming form the alternator's location in the engine bay. I touched the casing and it was very hot. Now this morning the battery is stone cold dead.
