OEX Alternator 12V 180A Valeo Style VXA909

The OEX Alternator VXA909 is a new 12V alternator with a 180A power rating, built in a Valeo style for applications that suit a Valeo unit. It uses an internal regulator, a pad mount arrangement, a 6 groove pulley, and a 50mm pulley outside diameter, so the key physical and electrical details are clearly defined before purchase.

This alternator is listed as new, not remanufactured, and is supplied as an each unit. The mount leg thickness is 70mm and the pin code is IR182, which are useful checks when comparing against the vehicle’s existing alternator and connector setup.

OEX positions this rotating electrical unit as part of its alternator range, with the brand’s stated focus on quality, reliability, and controlled manufacturing. The product carries a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty, which gives a clear warranty reference for the intended usage class.

Because alternators are highly application-specific, the important checks are the part number VXA909, the Valeo-style unit make, the 12V system voltage, and the 180A output. Those details should be matched against the vehicle and the removed unit before ordering or fitting.

• The fitment data also shows year references for some applications, including 2010 through 2018 on selected models, but the exact vehicle match still needs to be confirmed against the part number and unit details.
• No fitment should be assumed from make alone, as alternator mounting, pulley configuration, connector style and output rating must all align.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number VXA909 and the unit make, which is listed as Valeo style, against the alternator already fitted to the vehicle. The most useful compatibility checks here are the 12V system voltage, 180A output, pad mount design, IR182 pin code and the 6 groove pulley with 50mm outside diameter.

If you are replacing an existing alternator, the mount leg thickness of 70mm is another important measurement to verify. A mismatch in mount style, pulley section or connector code can prevent correct installation even where the vehicle make appears in the fitment data.

The application list covers a broad range of vehicles, but alternator compatibility is determined by more than the badge on the bonnet. The correct check is to match the alternator’s electrical rating, mounting arrangement and connector details to the removed unit or the vehicle’s service information.

The warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That is useful when selecting the alternator for the intended duty cycle, but it does not replace the need to confirm the exact application before fitting.

If the vehicle is used for commercial work, pay particular attention to the listed application and the unit specifications, as charging requirements and mounting arrangements can vary between related models. The safest approach is to confirm the part number, then check the pulley, mount and plug details against the original unit.

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 VXA909 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.
