OEX Alternator 12V 150A Valeo VXA049

The OEX Alternator VXA049 is a 12V, 150A unit built for Valeo applications. It is a new alternator, supplied as each, with an internal regulator and a 6 groove pulley, so the main installation checks are the mounting pattern, pulley setup, and the vehicle’s charging requirements.

This unit is listed with a quad leg alternator mount, inside mounting legs of 51mm, a mounting centre to centre measurement of 164mm, and a pivot hole diameter of M10x1.25 / 10.5. Those dimensions matter because alternators can look similar while differing in leg spacing and fixing sizes.

For buyers comparing replacements, the key identifiers here are OEX, part number VXA049, Valeo suitability, 12V system voltage, and 150 amp output. The alternator weighs 5.86kg and has a pulley outside diameter of 55mm, which can help confirm you are matching the correct physical unit before fitting.

Application and Buying Notes

Before purchasing, compare the part number VXA049 and the Valeo suitability against the alternator already fitted to the vehicle. The physical details matter here: 12V system voltage, 150A output, internal regulator, 6 groove pulley, quad leg mount, and 164mm centre to centre mounting are the main points to check.

The inside mounting legs are listed as 51mm, with a note that inside mounting legs are 38mm and 51mm. That makes a direct measurement on the existing unit especially important, because alternators can share a similar overall shape while still differing in leg width, bracket style, or fixing geometry.

The pivot hole diameter is M10x1.25 / 10.5, and the pulley outside diameter is 55mm. These are useful verification points when checking whether the replacement will align correctly with the drive belt and mounting hardware already on the vehicle.

This alternator is a new OEX unit and is backed by a 3yr Passenger / 1yr Commercial warranty. Warranty coverage is one part of the purchase decision, but correct identification is still essential, particularly when the vehicle uses a Valeo alternator arrangement and the mounting dimensions need to match exactly.

If you are replacing a failed charging unit, check the wiring connection, regulator type, pulley groove count, and overall fixing layout on the removed alternator before fitting the new one. The pin code is IR182, which can also assist with cross-checking against the original unit or existing parts records.

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 VXA049 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.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. VXA049, Brand OEX, Description OEX Alternator 12V 150A Valeo, Inside Mounting Legs 51mm, Pivot Hole Diameter M10x1.25 / 10.5, Pulley Outside Diameter 55mm, Regulator Type Internal, Voltage 12.

OEX Alternator 12V 150A Valeo. Part number VXA049 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 150. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Quad Leg. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is 6 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.

For part number VXA049, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 150 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include FORD TRANSIT, FORD TRANSIT 2018, HYUNDAI SANTA FE, HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2018, HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2019, HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2020. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number VXA049, the Valeo application, and the measured mounting and pulley details on the vehicle before ordering. Do not rely on appearance alone, as alternators with the same voltage or amp rating can still differ in mounting and connection details.
