The key matching points here are the 12V system, 150A output, foot-mounted fastening type, and the fact that this unit is listed as excl. vacuum pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitment information supplied includes Volvo C30, Volvo S40, Volvo V50 and Volvo V40 applications, but the exact vehicle year and engine setup still need to be checked against the installed unit. On alternators, the mounting style and whether the replacement is for a vacuum-pump-equipped or non-vacuum-pump unit are critical details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommendation for additional repairs is a V-Belt or V-Ribbed Belt, so it is sensible to inspect the drive belt system at the same time. If the belt shows wear, glazing, cracking or noise, replacing it alongside the alternator can help avoid a repeat job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 150A alternator is chosen to match the vehicle’s electrical demand, so it should not be treated as a universal substitute. Confirm that the voltage, amperage, mounting arrangement and accessory layout all align with the original equipment before fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are working from a vehicle registration or VIN, use that information together with the part number and the alternator’s physical details. That is the safest way to narrow the choice when there are similar Bosch alternators with different mounting or pump arrangements.\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 1986A01040 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, Voltage 12, Fastening Type Foot-mounted, Recommended additional repairs V-Belt\/V-Ribbed Belt, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. 1986A01040, Brand BOSCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Description Bosch Alternator 12V 150A, Power Rating (Amp) 150, Alternator Charge Current [A] 150, Alternator Type excl. vacuum pump, Manufactured in China, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBosch Alternator 12V 150A.
