Bosch Alternator P/N:AL0894X
Bosch AL82N alternator for the 1974-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle H4 1.6L and other vehicles charges the battery and powers the electrical system while the engine runs. This new Bosch alternator is designed to be identical in fit and performance to the original equipment part it replaces.
A battery light on the dash, dim headlights or a battery that keeps going flat can point to a charging problem. Before you replace the alternator, rule out a worn or slipping belt, loose or corroded battery cables and a weak battery, because these can look alike at the dash.
The vehicles it fits include the 1974-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle H4 1.6L, the 1975-1979 Volkswagen Beetle H4 1.6L and the 1971-1974 Volkswagen Transporter H4 1.6L. The 1971-1974 Volkswagen Transporter H4 1.6L takes one alternator, and so do the other cars named here. If your car is not named here, open the Buyer's Guide tab to check your exact model and engine.
