Yes and no! Any Golf / Jetta alternator from 1992 and down will fit, you just have to swap the V-belt cog to make it work. We do this all the time with our engine conversion kits going the other direction - 90A Vanagon > Golf engine.

I read on the internet somewhere that it is possible to install a 100 amp Jetta alternator into a vanagon which originally has a 55 or 60 amp alternator. Is it just a matter of switching a pulley? Anybody done this with positive results? Malibu Tony.....the stash master |
