OEX Alternator 12V 180A Valeo Style VXA041

The OEX Alternator VXA041 is a 12V, 180A unit with a Valeo style fitment, an internal regulator, and a 6 groove pulley. It is listed as a new alternator and uses an IR125 pin code, with a 54mm pulley outside diameter and a quad leg alternator mount.

For buyers comparing replacements, the key identifiers here are the OEX brand, part number VXA041, and the Valeo style unit make. The alternator has 45mm inside mounting legs and a 10.5mm / M10x1.5 pivot hole diameter, so matching the mounting layout matters as much as matching the electrical rating.

This is a rotating electrical component designed for vehicles that require a 12 volt charging system with a 180 amp output. The unit weighs 6.98kg and is supplied as each, which is useful when cross-checking against the original alternator before ordering.

OEX backs this alternator with a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty. The brand notes ISO9001 certified factories and OEM supplier experience, which gives useful context when choosing a replacement for a Valeo style application.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing an alternator, the safest approach is to match the part number VXA041, the Valeo style unit make, and the physical details such as the quad leg mount, 45mm inside mounting legs, and 10.5mm / M10x1.5 pivot hole. Those mounting dimensions are just as important as the 12V and 180A electrical rating.

The pulley details are also critical. This unit is specified with a 6 groove pulley and a 54mm pulley outside diameter, so the belt arrangement on the vehicle must match. If the old alternator has a different pulley section or a different mounting leg layout, do not assume it will be a direct swap.

The internal regulator and IR125 pin code should be checked against the vehicle wiring and connector arrangement. Alternators can look similar externally while still differing in regulator type or connection details, which can affect installation and charging system operation.

The listed fitment range is broad and covers a number of European makes and models, but that should be treated as a guide only. Use the original alternator, the vehicle details, and the part number together to confirm the correct replacement before ordering, especially on vehicles where multiple alternator variants were used.

Warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That warranty does not replace the need to verify the mounting pattern, pulley arrangement, voltage, and amperage rating, because those are the practical checks that determine whether the alternator is suitable for the vehicle.

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 VXA041 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.
