Those measurements are the practical checks that help confirm whether the alternator will physically line up with the existing brackets and mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso confirm the electrical setup matches your vehicle. This unit is a 12V alternator with 180A charge current, internal regulator, 6 groove pulley, and pin code IR228. If the vehicle uses a different pulley style, regulator arrangement, or connection layout, the alternator may not be suitable even if the shape appears similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listed weight is 7.67kg, which can be useful when handling, comparing replacement options, or checking against the removed unit. The note that there is no connector for revolution counter is also important, as the charging system and any related signal requirements should be checked against the original application before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a failed alternator, it is worth checking the belt condition, pulley alignment, and charging system connections at the same time. A correctly matched alternator still depends on the rest of the charging system being in sound condition, including the belt drive, mounting hardware, and battery state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Valeo unit is identified as a leading OE manufacturer and supplier for many euro vehicles, but that does not replace the need to verify the exact application. Use the part number, OEM number, voltage, amperage, mount style, and pulley details together rather than relying on the badge alone.\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 439838 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, Inside Mounting Legs 60mm, Pin Code IR228, Power Rating (Amp) 180, Pulley Section 6 Groove, Suits Unit Make Valeo, Alternator Mount Quad Leg, New \/ Reman.

Part number 439838 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 439838, 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 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG, VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2011, VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2012, VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2013. 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\u003eThe listed warranty is One Year.
