Does anybody know what the ampage is on an alternator for a Vectra C 1.9CDTi 120 is please?
My ones just died on me this morning

unfortunately, it depends. some are 105A, some are 130A some are 140A - i think it's to do with the equipment i.e. "ELITE" with all the extras (climate control etc) will need the highest rated alternators.
To be sure, you need to take the unit off and look at what you have fitted i'm afraid.

Yours is very likely to be the 105A as you have a design 120, same as mine. If you call the stealer, he can tell you from your reg what the car was fitted with on production.

LOL I forgot I put that into my profile

Until I get the new alternator sorted work might be lending one of our 8 seat Transits, well they phoned me earlier to ask a favour so I thought Id ask for one back.....
