[QUOTE="Ginger's VW, post: 354618, member: 17963"] There has been a lot of this recently, it's likely just poor quality parts. I had one that had cracked but didn't notice until I removed the belt to tighten and it fell apart. You'll need a new alt if only to replace the 'spokes' that have been ground away by the pulley. Unless you've got a mass of ICE you'll be fine with a 55A alt, I'd recommend a Bosch one and make sure you get a better quality top pulley. 55A Top quality alt - http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Shop_by_Vehicle~Baywindow_Bus_Products~Bay_Bus_Electrical_Products~Bay_Bus_Ignition-C-_Starting_and_Charging_Products~Bay_Bus_Charging_Products~Bay_Bus_Alternators_and_Dynamos/043903023CXTQ/T1_-P-_T2_1600cc_Alternator_TQ.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Good quality Top Pulley - http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/NA/AC903113F4/Flat_4_12V_Dynamo_Pulley_or_Alternator_Pulley.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; [/QUOTE]
