Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the original alternator matches the listed amperage, voltage, rotation, clock position, fan style, and pulley configuration before installation. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for your Audi 4000, Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible, Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup, or Volkswagen Jetta application, and compare the connector and mounting points to the removed unit. Because this alternator uses an internal regulator, make sure the charging system is configured for that design.
