Valeo Alternator 12V 140A New 439821
This Valeo alternator is a new 12V unit with a 140A charge current and part number 439821. It is listed as a Valeo unit with internal regulator, six-groove pulley, and quad leg alternator mount, so it is the sort of replacement that needs the mounting pattern and electrical connection checked carefully before purchase.
The alternator is supplied as a new unit, not remanufactured, and carries a one year warranty. Key dimensions include 61mm inside mounting legs, an 8mm / M8 pivot hole diameter, an 8mm adjusting hole diameter, and a 49mm pulley outside diameter. These measurements matter when matching the unit to the vehicle’s existing bracketry and belt setup.
It is described as a leading OE manufacturer and supplier for many euro vehicles, and the listed application preview includes Audi A3, Audi Q3, Skoda Octavia, Skoda Rapid, and Volkswagen Golf references. Even so, alternator fitment should always be confirmed against the part number 439821 and the vehicle’s exact charging system details before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, compare the part number 439821 with the original alternator or the vehicle’s service information. The listed fitment preview points to Audi A3, Audi Q3, Skoda Octavia, Skoda Rapid, and Volkswagen Golf applications, but alternators must also match the mount style, pulley type, regulator arrangement, and connector style. In this case, the important checkpoints are the quad leg mount, four-point mounting, 12V system, 140A output, and the note that there is no connector for a revolution counter.
The physical dimensions are just as important as the electrical rating. This unit has 61mm inside mounting legs, an 8 / M8 pivot hole diameter, an 8mm adjusting hole diameter, and a 49mm outside pulley diameter with a 6-groove section. If any of those features differ from the original unit, installation may not be straightforward, even where the vehicle model appears similar.
A 140A alternator is selected for the system specification, not just the vehicle badge. The internal regulator and R 90 position / degree information also need to suit the existing setup. If the vehicle has been modified, or if the original alternator has a different mounting or connector arrangement, check carefully before fitting. At 7.65kg, this is a substantial component and should be handled and installed with care.
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 439821 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.
