If it's the single long bolt through the mount style, then plenty of late 80's Audi's have a 90A alternator.

My last one came from a 2.0 Audi 80 from 89-90. The sticker on the side gives it's rating.

What about the plug, is that the same or do you need a piece of the loom as well?

Probably the same then.
I think the diesels have a 90A on some models too.

Hi guys, i'm kinda new in the forum, and new to the mk1 as well.
I've just recently discovered my original alternator is dead. I have one from a Mk2 GTI. Will it be ok to use this alternator as a replacement for my dead one?
Any help would be great.
cheers
