Dan,
Wish I could help but the kind of glance it got from me would never let =
me say one way or the other. Besides I've seen dozens since then and =
really they all blend together.
Sorry,
Rick Alexander

NAPA just called back, after researching the guy said that the alt I =
had was for a 93-95 Golf or Passat 2.0L. While I haven't really looked =
at the engine, I could swear it was stock as the previous 2 owners =
didn't seem the type to swap engines and I'd be shocked to find out it =
was a 2.0L. Rick A., you've seen the engine, is it definitely a rocc =
engine? While I don't have the alt here so I don't have the part number, =
the one Brett sent me has the same mounting points and is number 0 120 =
469 689 709. The guy at NAPA was rattling off the numbers and how they =
were 1 off, but I don't remember them offhand. Maybe this extra info can =
help someone help me.=20

would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I'm blatently begging here.
