Peter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have a 1987 90, with a 300tdi with autobox, and 8274-50 and D44 bumper up front. Twin batteries. Anyway I have a 100amp alternator, and after beginning to get the red glow of death coming on my dash recently under heaver load, assume alternator is trying to tell me something. Does anyone know if any other make or vehicles 100amp alternator will fit - just done a search on google for 100amp alternators: http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&...sa=N&tab=wf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If your existing 100A alternator isn't up to it, how is fitting a different 100A alternator going to help? I have a 140A unit here from a BMW, that's the sort of thing I'd expect to be looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'd have the alt checked as it could be the rectifier/diode packing causing the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 on a slightly hijacking note (sorry) whats a good bolt on alternator (100A +) available from a scrappy? mondeo ones are the wrong side for a def 200tdi I think? ie looking at front of alternator the lugs need to be 7 and 11 o'clock, I'm going to the scrapyard at the weekend to get the edis bits for the 109 and it just so happens my alternator is knackered...
