denso alternator replacemement for astra x20xev
blakep82 - 14/4/11 at 11:07 AM

I'm still after a denso (or similar sized tiny alternator) for my car. the engine is a 1998 x20xev from an astra i think?

I'm after a denso alternator which is a straight replacement! i will not be making brackets etc.I want one as a straight swap. i'm sure there's something about. its a multi V belt on my car, so don't mind having to change the pulley from my bosch unit to the new one, so would need the same size spindle.

anyone know of one? even better, has one in the back of their shed needing a new home? it happens from time to ttime i know

If it helps give regal autosport a ring they specialise in vauxhall parts I'm sure they will have a replacement. If they do u2u me as I have an traders account with them. So can save you a few quid!

nice one thanks! i'll have to get the numbers off mine, just i know there's a few folk on here with the same engine as me, and some of them must have done the same thing lol. i'll have a look at their site when i have the numbers. just looked on the internet to see if i could find a list of denso drawings, and saw one that had bosch and denson cross reference numbers, and i know denso did alternators for some models of astra and vectras (diesels mostly) so there must be something out there to use the brackets i already have

Sbd/qed do denso alternators but they come with custom brackets. Atleast you won't be making nowt

eek, would be good to have some money left over though
i'm going to search or the numbers off SBD's photo of the alternator, see what i can find
ideally need one i can swap the alternators onto if it doesn't come with a multi V one. Will need to go out for a good measure session in a bit


need something that can work like this

I've got one you could buy off me (if you're not in a hurry)... it's not at all cheap, but it comes with a free modified X20XEV on TBs with ECU - you won't even need to bolt it on!
