Default I'm sure you can find a rebuilt one for less.

Bosch shows that they carry them for the ABZ-engined car. They also show them available from NAPA, Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts, and AutoZone.<ul><li><a href="http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/PartFinder/partfinder.asp">Bosch parts finder</a></li></ul>

On my old V8, i had the alternator rebuilt and upgraded by Avi's Ultranator. He advertises over on Audifans.com and claims that his unit would have upgraded output. Used the rebuilt one for four years without problem. NAYYY, just a satisfied customer.

Default Rebuild kits?

Seems to me most are the same on the inside. Havent rebuilt one in years but it was a very simple job. Usually the brushs go bad. Just mark the 2 sides of the case b4 you pry it open because some will go together 3 ways.
