This unit is a 12V, 180A Bosch alternator with a pad mount, internal regulator and 6 groove pulley, so those points need to line up with the vehicle and the removed part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48 mm pulley outside diameter is another useful check if the existing alternator is available for comparison. Even where the make and model appear in the application list, alternator setups can vary by engine, build date and charging system arrangement, so the physical unit and vehicle details should always be verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 180A alternator is typically selected for vehicles that require the same charging output as the original fitment. If the original unit differs in pulley section, mount type or regulator arrangement, the replacement may not suit the vehicle without further checking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12 months warranty applies to the listed part, but warranty cover does not confirm compatibility. Before ordering, compare the old unit, confirm the vehicle application, and make sure the Bosch part number and pin code IR201 correspond with the replacement you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 1986A01098 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelevant published details for this unit include Type ALTERNATOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty 12 Months, Power Rating (Amp) 180, Pulley Section 6 Groove, Voltage 12, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. 1986A01098, Brand BOSCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Description Bosch Alternator 12V 180A, Pin Code IR201, Pulley Outside Diameter 48mm, Regulator Type Internal, Alternator Mount Pad, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBosch Alternator 12V 180A.

Pulley configuration is 6 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 1986A01098, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 180 should be checked carefully.
