The 026 903 015B is the same as the AL27X.  The AL27X is specified for the
'83-85 Vanagon as well as most mid to late '80s Golf, Jetta, Quantum,
Rabbit, Scirocco and Audi 4000 & 5000.

The AL33X is part number is 026 903 017B and also fits most of the cars
listed above, and more.

That being said, they're pretty much interchangeable with the AL33X costing
about $15 less.

Cheers,

Subject: more x-refs for my 851.9L parts inventory

thx for the hall sender audi 4000 X-ref vanagon you guys are invaluable :)

Now I need some more x-refs on alternators
there is a ebay seller in van bc that just found out about a local
start/alternator rebuild shop that went outa  biz
hes blowing out some 200+ rebuilt alternators for 39.95
he listed these audi part numbers
 Ref #  A6711, 14396  026 903 015B
are these the same as the bosch al33x
and I assume since gowesty  sells al33x for 83-91 that
all i need you guys to confirm is that this is just AL33X

ps. instead of bugging you guys is there some internet x-ref
for all part numbers somewhere or x-ref specfic to the vanagons ?
