Mechman high output alternators · Authorized dealer
Passat owners rack up family miles, often with a roof box, kids' devices charging in back and a stereo upgrade for long drives. A Volkswagen Passat high output alternator from Mechman covers three eras of the car, from 1990s VR6 and 2.0L models to the 2006-2010 2.0L turbo and 2016-2017 1.8L turbo, in 370 and 400 amp outputs.
Early Passats from 1992-1997 with the 2.8L VR6, along with listed 2.0L cars from the mid-1990s, take a 370 amp unit. The 2006-2007 Passat with the 2.0L uses a different 370 amp unit, and both come in a natural finish. The 2008-2010 2.0L and the 2016-2017 1.8L share a 400 amp billet unit with a machined finish. Enter your year and engine in the vehicle finder above the products to confirm which applies.
Owners of the 1990s VR6 cars are often restoring or preserving them, and a new alternator is a natural part of that work alongside fresh cables and grounds.
Highway trips with passengers charging tablets, a cooler in the cargo area and an amplified stereo create a steady load hour after hour. These Mechman high output alternators give the Passat margin for those trips and for extras like auxiliary lighting. Related units appear on the Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen Golf pages. Add cables from our amp wiring kits to your Volkswagen Passat high output alternator, and see the Volkswagen alternators page.
