120 Amp Audi Alternator Install - Is this the one?

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Mine looks the same, but we can't see the other side in the picture (where 
the adjustment bolt is).

The VW P/N on mine is 078 903 015C.  The one pictured is 028 903 018B.  The 
difference in part numbers may only be due to the location of the duct and 
the type/size of pulley.  The Bosch P/N on mine is 0 123 505 007.   All of 
this was read using a mirror.  The part numbers are on the bottom once its 
installed.
