84 Rabbit GTI

Question on Alternator,   What alternators will work as replacement? I was
told by a guy at the wrecking yard that all the Rabbits used the same
alternator… is this true? can I go take a aternator off any rabbit and use
it?  or will a later A2 Golf alternator mount up? any ideas would be great.

Thanks

    I believe cars with AC had more powerful ones. Without AC should be able
    to take either.

     back then VW used Bosch & Motorola and as long as they have the same plug
    and the belt lines up then they should work.
