www.ImportedCarParts.com sells new/rebuilt Bosch 90 amp alternators for
$82.18 or $102.85 depending on which version you have.  They are the least
expensive place that I have found for most general repair parts.  These are
the same high quality, often genuine VW parts, you would get from WorldPac.

I'd rather get a rebuilt bosch without a warranty for $83, then buy a
lifetime POS for $140.

Cheers,

Cory
