I'm looking at an after-market one that is 100amps and wondering if it's a higher output than stock?
Cheers.
65 amps says my manual for our Euro cars.
Off topic a bit but recent experience of cheaper Chinese alternators which apparantly you can by off the shelf for Starions tells me they are rubbish.(i know but had to try them) One car I gotta fit new brushes every year lol, one killed a battery in 10 minutes. So repair your original alternators people even though it may cost more than a new one.

, I took the car to an auto electrician and for a small charge he correctly hooked up the alternator and made a new plug, replaced some fusable wires,
