I find the alternator dead on my 88 Westy last night.
I call 4 places this morning.
VW first.
$489.00
Foreign Car Parts Place
$189.00 ( rebuilt Beck Arnley)
A Local parts house
$136.00 ( I do not know who rebuilt it )
Finally NAPA
$104.00 and a 3 year guarantee.

I think this is good price, and like the warrantee, and had it this
morning and put in Van.
No mail order.
No wait.
No ship charges.
It is a 90 amp alternator--I checked with meter.

I figure why rebuild myself--no warrantee--and It took me half hour to
pick up part and install.

Good Evening,

Fred
