Mechman high output alternators · Authorized dealer
Audi's 2.0L four-cylinder powers a lot of quick, compact cars, and their owners often add audio, lighting or a parked-mode dash cam that draws power with the engine off. This page holds a single Audi high output alternator: a 400 Amp Mechman billet unit listed for the 2009-2013 A3, the 2007-2009 A4 and the 2009-2010 TT, Quattro versions included.
The A3 hatchback, A4 sedan and TT coupe and roadster use the 2.0L engine in these years, and the same 400 Amp alternator is listed for all three. Check your car on the A3 and A3 Quattro page for 2009-2013, the A4 and A4 Quattro page for 2007-2009, or the TT and TT Quattro page for 2009-2010. Other years and engines are not listed, so use the vehicle finder above the products to confirm your model year and engine before you order. Because one alternator spans all three cars, the A3, A4 and TT pages show the same product; what differs is the year window each model is listed for.
A 400 Amp Audi high output alternator gives generous headroom for a multi-amplifier stereo, a track-day car with a data logger and extra cooling fans, or a daily driver that sits with accessories running. The billet aluminum housing is machined from solid stock, which keeps it rigid and helps it shed heat in a tight, hot engine bay. It also means the charging system is unlikely to become the limit if you add more equipment later.
With output this high, the rest of the circuit needs to keep up. Plan on a heavy-gauge wiring kit that replaces the main charge and ground cables, a battery from our battery range that can absorb short peaks, and, if your plug or regulator differs, parts from harnesses and regulators. Mechman high output alternators for Volkswagen are grouped with this unit on the Volkswagen and Audi alternators page, and every make is on our alternator collection.
