I am in Argentina where they do not have my alternator. I have a 1991 volkswagen vanagon with a Bosch 90A, number AL33X. Wondering if anyone knows if a volkswagen Gol or Senda, or any other South American vehicle will work for my car? Please let me know, we are stranded in Argentina!|||It matters mostly if your alternator does more than one job. My VW beetle generator also is connected to a fan (in the doghouse)which cools the motor. I could not swap the beetle generator for say one out of a Ford because the ford does not have dual shaft ends(one to hold the fan)
My squareback VW had a regular generator which I changed with a GM generator which worked just fine as there was a simple clamp holding it in position.
In your case look to see what the alternator does. Actually hold the alternator in your hands and compare the exterior to the one you want to swap it with. If they look the same on the outside, the output doesn't matter. A golf may do it or maybe a Ford.|||Maybe time to look for another VW, this Vanagon is having spring troubles and now this. Use the same tip that I gave you on the springs.
