Help re Alternator for 300tdi

[87County]

Hi all,

the LRA "parts clearance" site lists 2 alternators for the 300tdi D1,

AMR 5425 for $259.99+
AMR 4248 for $716.05+

the microcat disc list only AMR 4248

can anybody tell me if the substantially cheaper AMR 5425 will suffice ?

thanks - Laurie

thanks - LaurieAre they showing AMR5425 in stock? From my end, they don't have any :(.

Also, I don't know the difference but AMR4248 is up to 1996 Discos, AMR5425 is 1997 on.
Both are 100A.

yes Scott, they're showing on the net website, so I think I'll grab one if they really have them...

AND

thanks Frank, I'll see if LRA come good, otherwise I'll go for that


.......gosh! 999 posts (should have posted seperately ...ha ha)....mmm... thinks - I wonder if it's like a MAyan calendar or something.....

the cheaper AMR 5425 has been ordered....

I'm thinking that the difference could be the pulley diameter, so I may need to change the pulley (to keep the rev counter right)

Yep, the pully size is what I was told.
