   No they are not.
   
   Some have a plug and some just have two bolt, nut and washer fixings for the wires.

   Best bet is to look at the connections on your original alternator as some of the early mk2's (single plug) had the earlier design alternators so it can get confusing.
   
   I believe all the later mk2 (51 reg onwards) alternators are the same though.
