Keep the battery charged and every electrical system powered with the Bosch Alternator AL82N. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1975-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, 1974-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle, and 1971-1974 Volkswagen Transporter.
An alternator converts mechanical energy from the engine-belt drive into electrical current, recharging the battery and supplying power to the ignition, lights, and accessories while the engine runs. When it fails, the vehicle leans on the battery alone and can eventually stall or fail to restart.
- Charging output: Generates the electrical current needed to keep the battery topped up and the electrical system running.
- Belt-driven design: Spins off the engine-belt drive to produce power whenever the engine is turning.
- Direct-fit replacement: Designed to install on the listed Volkswagen applications.
If a failing alternator is the cause of a dim-lights, repeated-dead-battery, or charging-warning-light complaint, replacing it with the AL82N helps restore proper charging. Diagnose the charging system first to confirm the alternator is the fault before replacing.
