Subject:      The case of the cracking Alternator Bracket - Solved
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Volks,



Our good friend Daryl Christensen of aatransaxle may have solved "The case of the 

cracking Alternator Bracket.



As I previous posted ... I've been thru 5 brackets (4 new) in the past 2 1/2 yrs / 

65k miles.



Daryl said that around 1988 VW offered a retro-fit additional bracket to resolve 

this problem. For some reason my 1990 doesn't have this.



I'll be ordering one Monday.



Details:



On ETKA...88 vanagon page  131-15 item 12a

Part:Bracket 

P/N: 025-115-632 



Daryl's comments:



Going from alt "L" brkt left over to case where long alt adj bracket bolts to with 

a spot to hold the dipstick tube tight in its middle. Avail from dealer and it 

really works to hold the L bracket from flexing and either breaking or busting the 

studs out of the case.
