VW Generator & VW Alternator Wiring Guide

All Volkswagens built in 1966 or earlier were originally made with a 6 Volt Generator. Many of those have since been converted to a 12 Volt Generator or an Alternator. We do offer 6 Volt Generators for the early Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia and Bus.

VW Starter Installation Video

If you are having problems with your starter only working occasionally or not working at all and have eliminated the possibility of the battery, ignition switch, battery cables and wiring being the cause it may be time to replace the starter. Our tech shows you how to remove and replace your starter in your VW.

VW Alternator Conversion Video

Big stereo systems and aftermarket fog lights can put a lot of load on the stock generator. Swapping over to an alternator is a great way to improve the electrical system of your VW. Higher amp outputs will ensure your battery is charged and your headlights aren't dimming out at night.
