It is rated at 180 amps, runs on 12 volts, and uses an internal regulator, making it a specific replacement option rather than a universal alternator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey physical details include a 6 groove pulley, 54 mm pulley outside diameter, twin leg alternator mount, and three-point mounting. The unit is listed with a weight of 7.46 kg, pin code IR148, and a left-hand 95 degree position \/ degree reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alternator is identified with OEM number FG18S014 and is described as suitable for BMW M3 E90 applications with the S65B40 engine. Because alternator fitment depends on both the vehicle application and the mounting and connector details, the part number and specifications should be checked carefully before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValeo brand alternator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V system voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180A charge current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 groove pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower rating: 180 amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 12 volt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit of measure: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: One year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulley section: 6 groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulley outside diameter: 54 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternator mount: Twin leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastening type: Three-point mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW M3 E90 with S65B40 engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and Buying Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important buying check for this alternator is the application to BMW M3 E90 with the S65B40 engine, along with the physical match to the mounting layout. This unit uses a twin leg mount and three-point fastening, so the bracket style on the vehicle needs to align with those details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pulley specification matters as well. This alternator has a 6 groove pulley with a 54 mm outside diameter, so belt type and pulley arrangement need to suit the vehicle setup. A mismatch here can create installation issues even when the electrical rating looks correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrically, this is a 12V alternator with a 180A charge current and an internal regulator. Those are important identifiers when comparing against the removed unit or against vehicle requirements, particularly where the factory system has a specific current output and connector arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector detail should also be checked. This unit is listed as having no connector for revolution counter, so the existing wiring and charging system configuration need to be confirmed before purchase. The listed pin code is IR148, which may help when comparing against the original part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part number 439675 and OEM number FG18S014 are the strongest reference points for matching. If the vehicle has been modified, repaired previously, or fitted with a non-original alternator, relying on the old unit’s shape and connection points is often more reliable than assuming by model name alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA one year warranty is listed for this new Valeo alternator. As with any electrical component, correct identification before fitting is important because incorrect part selection can lead to installation delays and the need to source the correct unit separately.\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 439675 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, Pin Code IR148, Power Rating (Amp) 180, Pulley Section 6 Groove, Suits Unit Make Valeo, Alternator Mount Twin Leg, OEM Number FG18S014, Position \/ Degree L 95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Connector \/ Clamp No Connector for Revolution Counter, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. 439675, Brand VALEO, Description Valeo Alternator 12V 180A, Adjusting Hole Diameter 10.5, Pivot Hole Diameter 10.5, Pulley Outside Diameter 54mm, Regulator Type Internal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValeo Alternator 12V 180A. Part number 439675 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 180. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount style is Twin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 439675, 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. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable application references include BMW 3, BMW 3 2006, BMW 3 2007, BMW 3 2008. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirm fitment using part number 439675, OEM number FG18S014, and the listed mounting, pulley, voltage, and connector details before ordering. Vehicle model references are helpful, but the final check should always be against the exact application and the removed alternator where possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat vehicle application is listed for this alternator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listed application is BMW M3 E90 with the S65B40 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the electrical ratings?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alternator is rated at 12V and 180A, with an internal regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this a new or remanufactured unit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is listed as new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat mounting details are provided?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alternator is described as twin leg mount with three-point mounting, and the adjusting hole diameter and pivot hole diameter are both 10.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat pulley specification does it use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a 6 groove pulley with a 54 mm outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat identifiers should I check before buying?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key identifiers are part number 439675, OEM number FG18S014, and pin code IR148, along with the listed voltage, amperage, mounting, and connector details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VALEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56888761057440,"sku":"A5411663","price":2477.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/5058\/0875\/files\/IbikXT0IMT9XbZmOPbj2zw.jpg?v=1775122657","url":"https:\/\/www.micksgonebush.com.au\/products\/a5411663-valeo-alternator-12v-180a","provider":"Micks Gone Bush","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
