1975-1979 VW Beetle and Super Beetle - Alternator Styles

Alternators which fit the 1975-79 VW Beetle and Super Beetle (AL82N) are of Bosch Germany and Brazilian manufacturing origin, as well as Motorola USA. While these three styles of units are totally interchangeable on the car, the Voltage Regulators are not interchangeable between the three. Until this point in time only a replacement Voltage Regulator for the German production alternators has been available (p/n 0 192 952 007). Now Bosch is introducing Voltage Regulator (p/n 9 190 087 003) which is a direct replacement for the Brazilian produced units.
