Default Alternator question....

I need to change the alternator in my 1.8t and was wondering, would it be fine to use a standard pulley on a car that was equiped with a freewheel pulley? The alternator is bad and I think the clutch pack has also gone bad...

Default There are two types of pullies...

Well, more than two, but in the case of the alternator of the 1.8t... You have a standard pulley which is just a round peice of metal, nothing to it... Then you have a freewheel pulley which has a clutch inside of it that will allow it to only spin 1 way and also keeps a smooth engagement of the alternator.... Also, what is the Alternator off of and where are you located? We are shipping the car Saturday and I need it done ASAP!

Default Wow. Never seen that.

The alternator I have is off a 99.5 with the AEB. I'm in CT.

No idea what this thing is worth....?

Default Well, I got a reman from Autozone but don't know if it will work yet...

Remans are about $150... So since you have a used one, I would say around $100 or less...
