Product info

90amp VW A4 charging systems. Rebuilt 90 amp alternator. Fits Bosch or Valeo charging system w/ 6 Poly Groove Clutch Pulley. Originally, since cars run on DC power, engines were equipped with generators. Later it was found that alternating current was more efficient to produce, so generators were replaced with alternators, which produce AC power. The power is immediately converted to DC through a series of diodes and directed to the battery, which then powers the rest of the vehicle. The alternator is most commonly driven by your engine drive belt. A working alternator should generate close to 14 volts. If the measured electrical voltage drops below 12v it is a sure sign of an alternator charging issue, generally followed by a battery light on the dash illuminating. When diagnosing a charging problem, it is wise to also inspect all related ground points as well as the system voltage regulator, most often located on or in the alternator itself.

Warranty
We offer a 2-year warranty on all parts that we sell. If the part fails within 2 years of purchase, please contact us for instructions to replace it. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or improper installation.
