Application and Buying Notes

Check the part number 1986A00741 first, then compare the voltage rating of 12V, the 80A output, and the alternator type listed as excl. vacuum pump. These identifiers are the most reliable starting point when matching an alternator, especially where the vehicle may have been fitted with more than one charging system option.

The fastening type is Double Pivot Lever, so mounting style needs to be verified against the existing unit or vehicle specifications before purchase. A correct electrical rating is not enough on its own if the bracket, pulley arrangement, or mounting style does not line up with the vehicle.

This unit is listed against Citroen and Peugeot application groups, including C5, Xantia, Xsara, 206, 306, 307, and 406. Use those application references as a guide only and confirm the exact fit using the part number and the vehicle’s alternator details, as model ranges can vary within the same badge and year.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 1986A00741 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
