1991 Jetta 1.6 ecodiesel with a/c - AL30x alternator fits.
Well, I broke down and picked up a Bosch rebuild.
ETKA showed that the 85-90 Jettas with a/c used a 90amp alternator, and
the 91-92 Jetta ecodiesel wtih a/c also used a 90amp.
Interestingly, they originally used the same part number, but were
replaced with DIFFERENT part numbers.
Well, the AL0182x that I had is no longer sold, and has been replaced
with the AL30x, the SAME as the 85-90 diesels. Strange.
Anyway, if anyone else with a 91 ecodiesel needs a new alternator, the
AL30x fits and works fine, the connections are rotated 1/3 of the way
around the back, but the connecting wires can easily be re-routed. Some
are left pretty close to the fan, but I zip-tied them up, and think
they'll be fine.
Will.
