Valeo Alternator 12V 80A Remanufactured 437220

Valeo alternator, 12V and 80A output, part number 437220. This unit is remanufactured and supplied as an each item, with a one year warranty listed. It suits a Citroen BX application, so the key check before purchase is matching the part number and the mounting details to the vehicle already fitted.

The alternator uses an internal regulator, a 5 groove pulley, and a twin leg alternator mount. Important mounting measurements listed are 65mm inside mounting legs, 171mm mount centre to centre, 11mm pivot hole diameter, and 8mm adjusting hole diameter. Those details matter because alternators can look similar while mounting points and pulley arrangement differ.

At 5.61kg, this Valeo unit is a remanufactured rotating electrical component intended to replace a compatible 12 volt charging unit. The connector is listed as no connector for revolution counter, so any vehicle-side connection needs to be checked against the original alternator before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number 437220 and the physical mounting dimensions against the alternator on the vehicle. The listed 65mm inside mounting legs, 171mm mount centre to centre, 11mm pivot hole diameter, and 8mm adjusting hole diameter are the main points to confirm, especially if the original unit has been changed previously.

The pulley is listed as a 5 groove design with a 62mm outside diameter. That needs to suit the belt arrangement already on the vehicle, as pulley width and groove count are common reasons a replacement alternator will not line up correctly even when the electrical rating is close.

This Valeo alternator is 12V with an 80A charge current and an internal regulator. Those figures are important for matching the charging system specification, but they do not replace a proper physical check. If the vehicle uses a different regulator arrangement, connector style, or mounting layout, the alternator may not be suitable.

The product facts list Citroen BX as the supported application. If you are working on a vehicle outside that application, do not assume compatibility from appearance alone. Match the existing unit by brand, part number, mounting style, and pulley details before committing to the purchase.

As a remanufactured alternator, this unit is intended as a service replacement rather than a new assembly. For best results, compare the old alternator carefully and note anything unusual about the connector, bracket spacing, or belt alignment before installation begins.

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 437220 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.
