Hi all
my alternator needs replacing and I would prefer to upgrade while I am spending the money anyway.
My question is, is there a 'straight-swap' alternator for the STC229 I have (Magneti Marelli 45A I think) which will literally go straight on in place of this but provide more amps?
I have heard a fairly reliable source mention that a 200Tdi one at 65A is a direct replacement, but I think that the connections might be different? If this is true, how difficult is it to do and what's involved? As you have guessed I am no auto electrician!
Please can anyone help before I buy the wrong item?
Thanks
Chris
