The key physical details also need to line up: 12V, 180A, 7 groove pulley, 53mm pulley outside diameter, twin leg mount, and internal regulator. If any of those points differ, stop and recheck before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector detail is specific: no connector for revolution counter. That makes the electrical interface just as important as the mounting pattern, because an alternator can look correct externally while still being incompatible at the plug or signal level. The listed position \/ degree of L 95 and fastening type Double Pivot Lever are useful reference points when comparing the replacement unit side by side with the removed part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alternator is a new Valeo unit and carries a one year warranty. At 7.624kg it is a substantial rotating electrical component, so care during handling and installation is important. Check belt alignment, pulley groove count, mount style and regulator type before fitment, especially where the vehicle has had previous repairs or non-original parts installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplied fitment information points to BMW applications, including 5 Series, 7 Series, X5 and X6 references. Even so, model badges alone are not enough to confirm suitability. Match the part number, OEM number, and the alternator’s measured and mounting details to the vehicle and the old unit to reduce the risk of ordering the wrong part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 439668 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelevant published details for this unit include Type ALTERNATOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty One Year, Power Rating (Amp) 180, Pulley Section 7 Groove, Suits Unit Make Valeo, Alternator Mount Twin Leg, OEM Number FG18S011, Position \/ Degree L 95, Connector \/ Clamp No Connector for Revolution Counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. 439668, Brand VALEO, Description Valeo Alternator 12V 180A, Pin Code IR148, Pulley Outside Diameter 53mm, Regulator Type Internal, Voltage 12, New \/ Reman.

Pulley configuration is 7 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 439668, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 180 should be checked carefully.
