I am wanting to put a higher amperage alternator in this 82 vanagon. First, can it be done and will a Golf/Jetta alternator work. They are 90amp. tim
Tim, I put an alternator in a '85 Golf from a '84 Westy, it fit just fine, the only difference was the battery connector, but that was easy to get around. The Golf had a 60 amp and the Van's is a 90 amp. Now I have a 90 amp van alternator on my I4 conversion,fits and works fine.
