The vw replacement alternator number is 021-903-023-A,
On the 914 parts catalog it is 022 903 023. Looking at images online i see the vw has some kind of suppressor on it (causing shorts until remedied) the one on my engine (likely a 411) does not have this. It also has no numbers on it. Does the 914 alternator have the suppressor? Can i fit the vw numbered alternator without issues? |

Problems arise with the positive lug, our type iv has a very short one to accommodate the air deflector plate, longer lug from a different unit can short on the plate. Also there is a gasket between the alternator and the air deflector plate, NLA gasket seals for better cooling, no electric isolation.
