The ABF Adjustable alternator set up has been sought after by many individuals. With some fervent searching and development work, sourcing the parts for the 16v enthusiast just became a lot easier and now with lightened pulleys to really accentuate your engine bay.

What is the ABF alternator conversion?
As seen in the image above it is an adjustable serpentine belt set up that eliminates the need to use tensioners and positions the alternator low enough to clear ITB's (Individual throttle bodies) on an 8V,16V or even 20V set up!

We are currently working on 06A/06B applications as well using this amazing set up and now kits just became easier.We also have the means to source any serpentine set up from the ABA ac & the uber rare non-ac.

You should be able to use the US Mk3 setup with the tensioner. I'm not sure if you can keep your stock compressor though. Try it, but you might have to use a Mk3 compressor.

But that's ok, because you can get a mk3 compressor made for R134a and it'll work better anyway.

this ad has been spammed across the tex more than anything i have seen.

I would look into the ABA set up as stated above.

No sir,you are wrong...
Spamming would be what occurs in the MKIV & 1.8T forums where 1278638 advertisers compete to sell the same products so you end up having half a forum fulled with advertiser threads selling the same items.
I decided to do this because I wanted to offer a product that everyone asked for but could not seem to get/find.
If you can find another ABF set up anywhere on the tex let me know...until then either buy one or keep your opinion.

I was served a nasty blow today so everyone that got this @ $269US got really lucky. Due to actions beyond my control there has been a price increase on both Alternators & Brackets totalling over $50US.Not my cup of tea...

[rabidroco]

I'm not trying to trash your sale, but if you search "ABF" this ad comes up 14 times and they're always at the top.

Maybe it's just me, but $269 seems like a lot for a serp setup that lacks the best thing about a serp belt swap, that is a spring-tensioner which keeps the belt from slipping/squeaking and needing adjustment.

[RoccoRacer]

The spring tensioner is on the bottom of the alternator bracket, unfortunately not visible in the pics. I've seen the setup in person on My Old Roc's car, and it looks very nice.

I'm old, I have to wear a suit to work and I need my AC, it's an R134a retro on it's 6th year, I also like my power steering.

I hate changing all the belts.

Any way to do this conversion and keep all the goodies and run them off one belt?

This is for my stock 86 8v JH

Eventually for my 87 16v PL too.

Thanks!

[TheTimob]

you might be able to use an ABA setup, but it may put the A/C compressor to far forward and hit the crossmember or radiator.

This setup is ideal for non-A/C cars.

Working on it right now so that you are able to run every accessory off 1 single belt.It is proving to be a bit challenging but I am getting there as I am trying to keep cost down to a minimal.

[al@absolute]

you've got PM.

[wgirnius]

Can't wait, seriously looking forward to this mod.

[sickmind]

I`ve tried the ABA setup in a MK1 and yes the crossmember would need to be notched for the compressor as well as the right framerail to clear the tensioner and a radiator with outlets on the driver side like the corradoG60 , just haven`t tried to fit the rad but there isn`t room to get around the compressor . Sorry about the thread jack

You can skip the frame rail. I shaved down the bolt head on the tensioner pulley a bit & it just clears.

Every once in a while a member (like yourself) replies with some whitey comment that does not pertain to the products but rather to how/why advertisers post up for sale stuff in forums.

In the past I would have simply reported your post and moved along but today is your lucky day as I am going to reply like a regular user,not a forum advertiser.

This is my regular handle:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/zer...29382
If you notice anything about the almost 10,000 posts they have been nothing but quality information sharing.What 99.9% of members (like yourself) do not realise is that for most advertisers/forum sponsours this is OUR JOB.

Most of you wake up, have a shower,drink your coffee,kiss your wife and then go to your 9-5pm job ,come home ,eat dinner and then relax to do the same thing the next day after being paid for e.g. in this scenario $20US/hour or more (or less depending on where you work).After a days work you have made the 160 US that you need to bring home to your wife.

Now me for e.g. I gave up my Engineering 9-5pm job to do THIS full time.What is this? I turned my passion into a means of an income by developing parts the community demands and sourcing hard to find parts that the community desires such as this ABF kit. Not only do I have to match your 160 US / day but I also have to budget for the advertising fees that I HAVE TO PAY in order to show off the pretty little products that I develop.

Who would I sell ABF alternator kits to? MKIV 1.8T guys? NO
my target market is going to be the Scirocco ,MKI Golf , MKI Jetta and any other user who has a v-belt system. I am sorry if this thread is or was an eye sore for you but try and understand my point of view (and every advertiser on this forum point of view) when you are driving in your new RS4 tomorrow.

I use to be just like you and never understood why advertisers cluttered the forum with posts until I became one.My advice to you (as a regular user speaking here) is that if you do not like what is being offered then download firevortex and ignore all posts made by advertisers.It makes reading the forum a lot easier and it cuts guys like us some slack.

As usual,if you do not like a thread then simply do not click on it as you are simply wasting both of our time.I hope my explanation above puts you a little at ease as I strive day in and day out to develop new products for these platforms.Bare with me a little....I am not harming anyone with these threads.

Can anybody else confirm this? Better yet, any body have a picture?

[TheTimob]

Here ya go.

You just loosen the pivot 13mm bolt, and that big 19mm bolt. The sping applies the proper tension. Tighten the bolts. Done.

Ok I have decided that I am going to write the serpentine conversion FAQ thread and I am going to be placing it in the MKI Golf & Jetta forum as the members of id=11 have been nothing but awesome to me.

If everyone was considerate like 99% of the users in here then we would not have any problems.

Hey guys,
we are doing a batch of Anodized black this week AND we now have alternator pulley's available for all the drag racers!

[Alderstorm]

The kit I bought didn't come with a spring like you have shown. Is it truly necessary?

Not at all and the reason we do not provide the spring is because once you pry out and bolt down the alternator then the spring no longer provides any tension.

[Alderstorm]

Do you have any recommendations on how to tension the belt properly?

I used a screw driver to pry it out then I tightened the bolt to secure the alternator.

I am smart enough to figure that out. I guess I was asking for it with such a silly question though. Thanks.
