Throttle body fouling on alternator? 20vt

I cant get my throttle body on as it is fouling on the alternator. Can anybody help? Im pretty sure I've got the correct throttle body looking at other photos.

Cheers

Anybody?.... I think it may be a problem with it being an AEB block.

Hi thickfreakeness

Yea i came accross the same problem.. what alternator bracket did you use??

I used the AEB one cut in half… I'm sure i questioned this not long back but cant find the thread?? someone linked to an ebay item of a mk3 braket and alternator with the spring loaded tensioner or something?? don't quote me on that tho.. lol

But as all my stuff was in place and a little fed up of going one step forward 2 back i just ground some out the alternator braket and a tad off the throttle body.. If it fails then i'll get the mk3 set up.. lol

Alright mate, yeh I went about that last night with the angle grinder haha. Seems to fit well enough

It was this thread http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=123635 and yes you want the mk3 style bracket with the spring tensioner (not the roller tensioner)
