[Vwdiesel] alternator

[Brian Decker]

Hi Hayden; I use 90 amp alternators from older Audi's. Just put on the deep
pulley from the A1. Not all fit but most will.

Went outside this morning to start the Jetta in the cold and drizzle only to
find a dead battery,  I am thinking that I have a "leak" somewhere in the
system but I am going to take the battery out and get it checked.  All this
got me thinking about my alternator.  Since I have relocated my battery into
the trunk, I am thinking of upgrading my alternator.  I think the stock one
on the car is a 60 amp.  Anyone know what year alt would put out 90-100 amps
but still fit the MK1 diesel brackets?  Although I have made a few adaptions
to the brackets, I am thinking that even a later (MK2) alt would fit.  Any
suggestions?  Hayden
