The alternator casing on my 2005 Plus 4 has cracked. The original part manufactured by Visteon is no longer available. The Visteon part number was 1478119.
A compatible new replacement part manufactured by either Lucas, Febi Bilstein or Hella is available. The Lucas one is the cheapest and there’s not much price difference between the other two. The charging current of the Lucas and Febi Bilstein is the same at 90 amps whereas the Hella unit charges at 115 amps.
Any thoughts about these manufacturers or suggestions as to a better alternative?
