Detailed Description
Bosch AL0716N is a new charging system component designed for vehicles that need a replacement alternator with the correct electrical and mounting specifications. The unit uses a short mounting configuration, a 6S pulley type, and a rear plug clock position of 1 o'clock when viewed from the rear mounting ear reference. It also includes an external regulator and pulley as listed in the product data.
This alternator cross-references Bosch and OE-style part numbers such as 06A903026C and 06B903018TX for the same application. For Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen R32, and Volkswagen Beetle owners, matching the voltage, amperage, pulley style, and rotation direction is important for proper charging system operation. Bosch AL0716N is part of Bosch's Alternator (New) line, which focuses on new replacement charging components.
What It Is Used For
- Replacing a worn alternator that no longer maintains charging output
- Addressing battery warning lights caused by charging system faults
- Correcting low-voltage conditions from a failing internal regulator
- Restoring belt-driven charging performance when pulley wear is present
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle's mounting configuration, pulley groove count, rotation direction, and electrical connector orientation before installation. Confirm that the 14-volt system, 70-amp rating, and negative ground setup match the original unit. Use the fitment list to confirm application details for the specific Volkswagen model and year.
