[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 637791, member: 22687"] Yes on the stereo looks ok now. 13.6V at tickover ain't bad. If you really want new carbon brushes just take them to a local alternator refurb or auto electrician. They will be able to source. They shouldn't be expensive really either. Otherwise, get the numbers off the alternator, they may be very common as VW didn't use that many. Bosch or hella generally. There may be only one hella alternator used for your engine? Measure them and search for vw hella alternator brushes. Worth a punt. I needed brushes for an ancient vintage sewing machine and ended up buying similar and sanding down to fit in the original holders. Just be careful, they are brittle! [/QUOTE]
