Title: 200tdi alternator question
Post by: markyb on February 02, 2007, 16:52:44

I see a lot of different alternator on ebay,

i m in the process of adding lots or things that draw power so i want to add the second battery and a bigger alternator.

i suspect im running the 55amp on the 110 at present (not looked)  

i see 85 and 120 alternotors is there any to avoid or can i just buy an 85 amp and bolt it in

i suppose as long as its v type belt they must be interchangable.

i suspect its the aircon models and T/C

if you happen to know the part number that would be well handy but dont worry to much

I've heard that before, do we need to upgrader any wiring?? or is the original up to the job?

Yes... with anything over standard you should uprate the wiring... very easy to do though.
