03 VW Golf, new alternator or simple part?

Joeyjoejoe83 · 2011-05-18 21:02:30

So there was a loud clunk when I started the car earlier and i checked the engine. I found the belt holder wheel normally on the alternator on the floor of the engine. It was clearly erroded and needs replaced. My question is for anyone in the know, do I need a new alternator or is it possible just to buy a replacement…

My question is for anyone in the know, do I need a new alternator or is it possible just to buy a replacement belt holder and attach it to the pin, which is undamaged?
