Third in a series, no more chocolate, now ALTERNATORS!!!!

[doubt at inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

Cathy, the VW special tool did the trick, the hood closures are 
adjusted, and now BOTH sides of my hood actually pop up now.

But, of course, an open hood doesn't do me any good, as my alternator is 
seized.  A little history:

Driving home through torrential rain Friday, my charge light comes on, 
and I smell burning rubber for a bit, figured I'd lost my alternator 
belt.  No biggie, got it home, got the hood open on Sunday, and yep, no 
belt.  Tried turning the alternator, and it's stuck.  I got channel 
locks on the pully, I was eventually able to get it loose, and now it 
spins freely, but the bearings sound super crispy, and there's a little 
play in the pully shaft.  I could throw a belt on it and see if it 
works, but I'm thinking my bearings froze up, because of rain (?), and 
if I put a belt on it, it won't last very long.

Soooooo......

Anyone have a reasonably priced 16v alternator (with A/C) out there in 
Scirocco land?  I got the Quantum out of storage, it's my current daily 
driver, but I'd like to get it fixed, and I can't justify parting with 
$130 for a new one, but I will if I need to.

Thanks!
Nate
