Alternator question

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

The W is a tach signal for diesels...

Did you connect the blue wire from the original 3 wire alt connector, to the
small post, right next to the output power post?

Subject: Alternator question

Recently I swapped out Dieter's stock 65 amp alternator for 90(?) amp
alternator I had rebuilt for my Jetta ECOdiesel but didn't need.  I had to
modify the mounting bolt bracket on the case so the pullys would line up and
build a plug so I didn't have to alter the original wiring but I got it in.
It throws out plenty of juice according to the GTI volt meter which has
replaced the clock.  The problem is when I first start the car the
alternator doesn't start charging until I rev it up to around 4 grand!
After that it's fine.  What have I missed?  There is the W plug on the
alternator which has no wire in the original harness, do I need to add one?
If so where does the other end go?  I would appreciate any advice.
 
Thanks,
 
Behrle

P.S. I did manage to get a few decent pewter Scirocco key fobs cast before
the mold gave up.  The resin hosed the RTV mold. If any one is still
interested I can send you one.
