300 tdi discovery alternator same as North American disco?

[Christopher Lang]

So, just like the title says, is the 300 tdi disco alternator the same as the discovery alternator sold here?
I've got a groaning whining noise, and turning the pulley with the belt off doesn't feel quite like it should.

Before I go to all the trouble of actually taking mine apart and changing the bearings, if I can go to Lordco and grab a new one, that seems like it would be much faster.

If I was clever I'd have taken mine off and looked up the part numbers or something. But I haven't done so.


Thanks in advance.

Christopher.

I belive they are not at all the same, but don't take my word for it, it has been a while since I swapped mine out.

Looks like it is not.

AMR4247 for V8 and AMR4248 for 300TDI for the 100 Amp versions.

Ok, thanks guys.

I'll jerk mine out of the truck later today and see what the innards look like.

Thanks again.
