Depending on what yours is. Either of these will fit. 
VW Alternator - T3 / Diesel / 90A (brickwerks.co.uk) This will need modifying if fitting to a 65A bracket.

What is up with yours? A lot of the time they just need a new regulator.

just tried the new regulator and no voltage increase so it must be the alternator also no rev counter which is fed from the alternator it was worth a try  :(
