Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the part number MG494, OEM number 11209420, and pin code IR165 with the alternator already fitted to the vehicle. Those identifiers are often the most reliable starting point when matching a replacement alternator, especially where several units may appear similar externally.

The physical mounting details should also be checked carefully. This unit uses a twin leg mount, 67mm inside mounting legs, 67.0mm mounting bores distance, a 91.0 mounting points diameter, and an 11/M10x1.5 pivot hole diameter. If those dimensions do not match the original setup, the alternator may not install correctly.

Electrical specification is just as important as the bracket pattern. This alternator is 24V with a 65A output and an internal regulator, so it needs to suit the vehicle’s charging system and connector arrangement. The connector / clamp is listed as W, and the unit is supplied without a belt pulley, so the pulley arrangement on the vehicle should be checked before purchase.

Rotation and shaft details should be confirmed when replacing a charging unit. This alternator is clockwise rotation with a 17mm shaft diameter, and those details need to align with the application and the drive setup. If there is any uncertainty, compare the old unit directly against these measurements rather than relying on appearance alone.

For vehicles with listed SCANIA and T - SERIES applications, treat the fitment information as a guide and confirm against the exact vehicle, engine arrangement, and existing alternator. Year references appear in the fitment listing for SCANIA 3 - SERIES and T - SERIES applications, but the safest approach is to verify the identifiers and measurements above before ordering.

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 MG494 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 24V 65A. Part number MG494 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 24. Listed output rating is 65. 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 Not Applicable. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.

For part number MG494, 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 24 and output 65 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Please confirm compatibility using part number MG494, OEM number 11209420, pin code IR165, and the listed mounting and electrical specifications before purchase. Fitment should always be checked against the existing alternator and vehicle application details.
