The vw replacement alternator number is 021-903-023-A,
On the 914 parts catalog it is 022 903 023. Looking at images online i see the vw has some kind of suppressor on it (causing shorts until remedied) the one on my engine (likely a 411) does not have this. It also has no numbers on it. Does the 914 alternator have the suppressor? Can i fit the vw numbered alternator without issues? |

You're both correct in what you say. The positive threads are longer and should have a boot. Only one b+ has the starter live wire connected so naturally only one boot (elbow) is found. I'm going to fab some kind of gasket / spacer and or reduce the length of the threaded studs.
I read a thread on the samba about this problem. |
