Hello all!

Just had a quick check, and the stand Alt on the vRS is only a little 70amps. I need to get hold of a higher rated Alt. Does anybody know where I can get one, which will fit straight in?

I've heard that the Octavia TDI ones are 110amp, will these fit straight in? Preferably need one higher that that.

Cheers people

:rant: Young people nowadays. Don't know they're born My first car had an 18 amp :eek: DYNAMO :eek: :eek: :rant:

Why do you need more power - lots of ICE or what?

haha times have changed! Its for an ice install

70A isn't all that much

If ice install fit 2nd battery and couple of caps,that way you should get away without uprating alt(cheaper too).Might have some ice for sale if anyone is interested.JL SUBS and Hifonics amps.

2nd battery is going in anyway, Just need a better Alt. Just checked, and standard one is 90A. Need about 150A min.

A lot of people are still undecided as to whether power caps (as far as car install) actually make a difference, you'd be far better off getting a deep cycle battery upfront, ie Optima. If you would like to know more about this debate then i suggest you take a look at Car Audio Direct Forums. And just a note: to put in a split charger for the second batt, aswell as making sure it is ventilated to air

pimpster, did you find an uprated alternator? my alternator is dying and need one asap.

does anyone know if a seat leon cupra one will fit? these are a healthy 120amps and the engines are the same too.

my alt is reading 13.4 volts and i have serious noise until the alternator diodes have warmed up!!

any help/info would be great

Three of the 120A alternators listed for the Leon are common to the Octavia, but I do not know if a 120A alternator is a direct replacement for a lower rated one, and whether other parts are needed.

Havent found one yet. But if you do find the Lean one fits directly, let me know mate! Cheers

can't need much if they are differant surly? my brother in law has a cupra, i might ask him to wright the part number down and have a look!

Excellent. Cheers mate (i'm Pimpster from TA, Marko)

i thought so

i fitted a 120AMP alternator off an audi tt 225bhp model yesterday. they looked identical and was a straight swap. took me about 1hr-15mins to do and the power increase(amperage) is very noticable!

cost me

Excellent. So its a straight swap mate? Where did you get it from?
