I was wondering if I can install the 185A alternator vs. 155A - would.the 185 ampersand "overload" the system?

Seems non OEM after market manufactures offer both version for this car - and for a convertible I am quite surprised the original alternator is just 155A - doesn't the CONVERTIBLE ROOF draw much amps?

 

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Morning Steve

Welcome to the Forum

Quick look at realoem shows both 155A and 185A alternators were used for your car Part Number 12317521178 is the 185A was OEM

The 155A shows as a Remanufactured replacement alternative. Realoem also states that the Aluminium Screws are use once so will need replacing part number 12310392568 set of 4 shows

Good Luck 

Dave
