87 golf automatic alternator replacing

Hello everyone?

seems my alternator bearings might be going (high pitched whistle around

1000 revs ) so it seems I will have to replace it?

I'm not an expert here but I was wondering a number of things?

should/could I replace it with a more powerful one (so I can charge up a second on board battery)

Any recommendations on which one ?

Could anyone replace it with minimal skills?

Where should I buy it from? Maybe I should trade inthe old one ??

thanks for any help! ?

Michael

High pitched whistle from an alternator revving well is more likely a diode going or gone off. Volvos used to be prone.
