Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number 439730 with the alternator currently fitted to the vehicle. The listed specifications are specific: 12V, 230A, 220A charge current, internal regulator, 6 groove pulley, and 54mm pulley outside diameter. If any of those items differ from the original unit, the alternator may not be the correct match.

Mounting details matter just as much as the electrical rating. This unit is listed with 75mm inside mounting legs, twin leg mount, three-point mounting, and a 10mm adjusting hole diameter. Those dimensions are the practical checks that help confirm whether the alternator will physically line up with the brackets and belt drive on the vehicle.

The connector arrangement should also be checked before purchase. This alternator is listed as having no connector for revolution counter, so it is important to compare the plug and control arrangement on the original part. The pin code IR168 and position / degree L 95 are further identification points that can assist when matching to the fitted unit.

Because fitment can vary across vehicle ranges and production changes, rely on the complete combination of part number, mount type, pulley details, and connector style rather than the vehicle name alone. The supplied fitment references include BMW, BMW 5, and BMW X3 applications, but the exact match still needs to be confirmed against the vehicle and the existing alternator.

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 439730 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.

Relevant published details for this unit include Type ALTERNATOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty One Year, Inside Mounting Legs 75mm, Power Rating (Amp) 230, Pulley Section 6 Groove, Suits Unit Make Valeo, Alternator Mount Twin Leg, Insulated Return No, Position / Degree L 95.

For part number 439730, 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 230 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Please confirm compatibility using the part number 439730, the 12V 230A specification, the 6 groove pulley, the twin leg three-point mounting, and the connector arrangement before ordering. Vehicle names alone are not enough to confirm fitment.
