Review on 🐞 IAP Performance AC903900EC: Enhanced 60 Amp Alternator Kit for VW Beetle by Jon Higdem

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent workmanship Replacement parts

Stand installed great. I recommend cleaning the coating on the inside of the filler tube threads with a Dremel and wire brush BEFORE installation. The threads have a roughly structured anodizing or coating that makes it impossible to screw the threads into the original oil filler parts. I also recommend you use a bartender's bottle opener for the oil fill nut as it fits the groove perfectly and is affordable at $12. Special Tool -20 is only good for one purpose. I bent crap out of the wrench I used, but for $12-$20 you can buy a box of these and use them for anything useful other than attaching an oil pen. To get the lever, I slipped the tool through the hole on one end and inserted the tongue into the nut's slotted grooves. I originally borrowed an inner pipe wrench from a buddy to remove the filler part first and the rod wrench was a lot easier because it didn't slip.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Expensive
