I found a video taking apart a similar VW alt and that's how they did it!
No corrosion it literally looks new.

I have never heard the noises from an alt that this was making. I suspect the problem is with the rectifier, is their an easy way to test it? I have installed another alt hopefully good used unit but haven't tested it yet.

The one that failed is only about a month old but has been sitting on the shelf for a year or so. I tested it a couple of times again before I took it off, the last time their were no noises but it was not working. It really made a racket when it was working!

I still need to replace the B+ wire to the cluster.

The alt is tested an works when triggered!
