I will look out for one then as my original alternator is useless. The headlights dim if I put the heater fan on. - might be another fault there mind you. Any VW do?

Do these engines have problems with the bottom pulley?

Yes and its total death normally when they go but can be very easily avoided.

The JX auxilary pulleys and belts will also greatly reduce chance of problems.
