Switching to a 90amp alt.

Re: Switching to a 90amp alt. (millerwj)

Got it (it's the D+). I just gotta say, replacing the alt. in a Rabbit w/ A/C has got to one of the most PITA jobs going. I'd like to find the guy that designed the A/C bracket and make him change about 10 of them!!!

BTW, I've seen Rabbits w/ the A/C on the bottom. Anybody know where to get one of those brackets???

I know that in my Girlfriends Cabriolet (1982?) It has the A/C at the bottom if that helps!

I think 1985 and later to 1993 I think cabriolets, jetta, golf, and 8v sicrocco's I am not sure about the 16v have the sankyo 508 air conditioning compressor. They also have the 90 amp alternator. The alternator is mounted on top with the compressor on bottom. You can get the brackets from one of those cars. I used one from a 1985 jetta on my 81 pick-up and it works fantastic. I also have one on my 82 rabbit and have another bracket waiting to go on my 84 GTI as soon as I figure out which turbo engine I am gonna put in it. This set up is much easier to work on and is also lighter by several pounds. Be sure to get the hoses as well. I got all of my stuff from a junk yard real cheap.
