   Right the alternator has packed it in as the battery light has appeared on the dash and the car is drinking petrol massively - (i spent £20 on fuel getting from lakeside to southend!) this is because the ecu is trying to compensate.
   
   I have a saxo VTR with 1999 GTI engine but at present it has the old alternator off the VTR on it.
   
   Does anybody know a part number or anything that could help me out in getting a new one?
   
   70 80 or 90 amp?
   
   Anything would be a help!

   Hi, the safest way to make sure that you get the right one is to remove it and take it to the parts counter of a motor factors/ECP then compare what they have to yours.

   it wasnt made to fit as the the vtr and vts blocks are the same so it fits with standard parts.
   to fit a 16v one you need the mounting bracket s and tensioner set up
