Currently I have a 1600 sitting in my beetle, with a 12 Volt but no Alternator, only a Generator. I will need to get a Alternator for sure for around $300 + $100 Install. It is a recomditioned motor --

Now my option: a reconditioned 1600 motor with Cams and New Pistons and Barrels also a Alternator installed going for $800 AUD ... now, is that a good deal that I shouldn't miss? $800 includes installation.

Please give me some advice 🙂

Cheers!

Don.

Hi ikube,

Do you know the seller? Is there a warranty with the motor? Is there proof it IS rebuilt?
If yes to all get it. You can't go wrong...
