This alternator is really for my LT 4x4 - which uses the same alternator
as the Vanagon - save the pulley.  By the end of the week I will have
dual winches on it and it also has the mega large battery in it which is
the same size as the Touareg... a 2nd battery will be installed so I can
jump start myself in case I run down the main battery when winching.
Plus, I have 600W of high beams, heated seat and a bunch of other
electrical accessories that make my system voltage drop to down to 12V
when they are all running - at idle with no accessories running we are at
13.8V - I figure with the alternator starting to squeak a little it's time
to upgrade before disaster strikes.
