Subject:AEG alternator L connection. Was: Re: Wbx 90 Amp alternator fit Jetta ABA engine?

Hi all.

So I just couldn't help myself. There was this 2001 beetle, with a newer
looking Bosch OEM alternator, just waiting to be pulled.....  ;)

It looks like it will bolt up to my Jett's engine in my vanagon But.....

Online reading suggests this will work ok but can I just connect the
vanagon blue D+ wire to the new alternator L wire? The other DFM
wire appears to be for ECU or some such.
There is a diagram in my a3 bentley showing a single wire connection with a
2 wire alternator.

Here's an image of part in question

Now back to your Super Bowl.  Lol.

Neil.
