OEX Alternator 12V 160A Valeo VXA051

The OEX Alternator VXA051 is a new 12V, 160A unit suited to Valeo applications and supplied as each. It uses an internal regulator, a 6 groove pulley, and a quad leg mount, so the physical dimensions and mounting style should be checked carefully against the original unit before ordering.

This alternator carries part number VXA051 and pin code IR216. Key measurements include 61mm inside mounting legs, 128mm mount centre to centre, a 51mm pulley outside diameter, and an M8x1.25 / 9 pivot hole diameter. Those details matter when confirming the alternator will match the vehicle’s bracket, belt layout, and electrical connection style.

OEX states this alternator is made using OE components for a proper fit and function, with products sourced from ISO9001 certified factories. It is covered by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty, which gives added confidence for buyers wanting a replacement rotating electrical component with clear identifying specs.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number VXA051 and the Valeo application against the alternator already fitted to the vehicle. The most important checks here are the 12V system, 160A output, IR216 pin code, quad leg mount, and the 6 groove pulley arrangement, because these features must line up with the existing charging system and belt drive.

The listed dimensions are just as important as the electrical rating. Check the 61mm inside mounting legs, 128mm mount centre to centre, 51mm pulley outside diameter, and M8x1.25 / 9 pivot hole diameter against the removed unit. If any of those points differ, the alternator may not align correctly even if it looks similar at first glance.

This is a new alternator supplied as each, with a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. That warranty does not replace the need to confirm fitment, but it does give a clear point of reference for buyers wanting a direct replacement from a reputable rotating electrical brand. Keep the original unit handy when comparing mounts, pulley section, and connector details.

If the vehicle is one of the Renault applications associated with this part, treat the listing as a guide and confirm the exact match by part number and physical specification. Alternators can vary within the same model range, so the safest approach is to match the old unit’s mounting style, regulator type, pulley section, and electrical connection before purchase.

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 VXA051 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.

For part number VXA051, 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 160 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include RENAULT FLUENCE, RENAULT FLUENCE 2010, RENAULT FLUENCE 2011, RENAULT FLUENCE 2012. 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 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number VXA051, Valeo application details, pin code IR216, and the alternator’s mounting and pulley specifications against the vehicle’s original unit before ordering.
