[Vwdiesel] Vw alt wired into JD, directional rotation

[Travis .]

Where they VW alts or ones for other makes of cars? 
 
I say go with rebuilt-as they don't fail as often as the exchanged ones. While you may be able to replace under warranty on the road-you won't need to as often with a rebuilt one as often. I haven't had an alt failure yet. I have this spare one only because I went to the "W" terminal one for the tach and then upgraded to the AAZ motor which has a different setup so I had the spare from the other motor-it was sold with the none "W" alt on it.

travis, yes, i had two seperate occasions where the alt charged only in one direction (in the on bench tester) and not the correct one so it created a confounding situation when i put the alt in the car.


as far as a replacement, i thought i should purchase one from a nation wide resaler as i will at times be on the road traveling with this passat wagon and then could replace the alt when and where it goes bad.
