Mahle Alternator 12V 95A MG38
The MAHLE alternator listed here is a 12V, 95A unit with internal regulation, a twin leg mount, and a V-ribbed belt pulley. It is a new part, supplied each, with part number MG38 and an 8 groove pulley section.
Key mounting and size details include 78mm inside mounting legs, M10x1.5 pivot hole diameter, 10mm adjusting hole diameter, and 93.7 mounting points diameter. The distance from the pulley to the alternator is 30.5, and the mounting bore spacing is listed at 78.0.
This alternator is identified as dust proof and has a W terminal output noted as Hz, > 1 volt. It is intended for applications that match the listed electrical and mounting details, rather than by appearance alone.
As supplied, the unit carries a one year warranty and is part of the MAHLE rotating electrical range. For replacement work, the important checks are the part number MG38, 12V system voltage, 95A charge current, pulley style, and the twin leg mounting arrangement.

Fitment guidance
- No confirmed vehicle fitment is provided for this listing, so matching should be checked against the part number MG38 and the mounting and electrical details above.
- The supplied fitment data references JCB and Volvo Construction applications, including JCB 1110, JCB-VIBROMAX VM132D, and Volvo Construction MC125C, but those applications should still be confirmed against the exact machine specification before purchase.
Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, confirm that your original unit is a 12V alternator with a 95A charge current, internal regulator, and twin leg mount. The pulley details also matter here: this alternator uses a V-ribbed belt pulley with an 8 groove section and a 56mm outside diameter.
Mounting dimensions should be checked carefully against the removed part. The listed figures of 78mm inside mounting legs, 129mm centre-to-centre, M10x1.5 pivot hole diameter, 10mm adjusting hole diameter, and 93.7 mounting points diameter need to line up with the machine’s brackets and adjustment arrangement.
This alternator is noted as dust proof and has a W terminal output. That makes the connection and charging control details worth checking before fitment, especially where the original machine wiring or warning lamp circuit is sensitive to terminal layout.
The unit is new and carries a one year warranty, but warranty cover does not replace the need to verify compatibility. On machinery applications, the safest approach is to compare part number MG38, the pulley style, the mount type, and the physical measurements before fitting.
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 MG38 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.

Mahle Alternator 12V 95A. Part number MG38 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 95. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.
Mount style is Twin Leg. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is 8 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.
For part number MG38, 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 95 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
Available application references include JCB 1110, JCB 1110 2008, JCB 1110 2009, JCB 1110 2010, JCB-VIBROMAX VM132D, JCB-VIBROMAX VM132D 2007. 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.
The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.
Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by comparing part number MG38, 12V system voltage, 95A output, twin leg mount, 8 groove V-ribbed pulley, and the listed mounting measurements against the original alternator and machine application.
