Alternator pulley

[andymac91]

Guys the my alternator pulley has decided to part company from the alternator itself I've got another 1.8t alternator there but different part numbers, I was just wondering if all the pulleys are the same or if they are specific to each different alternator...also how easy are they to change? They pulley I mean!

Thanks

There are different pulleys on different alternators. Only one has the replaceable pulley.

You should be able to swap the full alternator, probably easier than the pulley. The pulley needs a special tool for removal

right, swapped alternators with one i got from a cupra r being broken but was different part numbers, mounts were the same and connector and b+ cable fitted ok..., managed about 300 miles and battery light has come back on! do you think its just a duff aternator or do you think it could be something else? this is really doing my box in...once its fixed its going up for sale lol
cheers
