It could well be different, many of the diesels were VW engines but being German, they often used whatever Bosch had available so you might be lucky. Fingers crossed for you!

Looking it up, the alternator fitted to the 90-94 960 D24TIC was also used on the red block and is 100A output - in fact the same part number is offered as a replacement.
I know it's not unheard of for certain suppliers to get things wrong (for example they list a Lucas A127 alternator as fitting my other beast - not a snowball in hells chance of that ever happening!) but from experience i'd say he's in with a good chance.

Doing a bit more double-checking, it seems the 100A alternator i quoted above is a Nippon-Denso alternator but has the same fittings as yours so if the one from the diesel is available at a sensible priceand they physically match on the brackets/mounting holes, you should be fine. Useful boost in output current as well!

Depends exactly what is fitted to that diesel 960 when you find it!

So the one fitted I'd the same size and he wants £25, said I can take it and if it works I can keep it but I have to leave mine here as he wants one with the engine.

The one fitted is Bosch 0 120 469 997
It's 31/80A
So slightly higher output that mine but should be fine!?

As long as it's the same size, you shouldn't have a problem as long as it works. It's a handy extra 15A of power there.

Let us know how it goes! If it seems to cure the hunting, unwillingness to rev, switch off and pull fuse #1 for 30+ seconds and replace it. Then give it a test run and see what's happening.
