It is listed as an alternator type excl. vacuum pump, with a charge current of 120A and a double pivot lever fastening type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alternator is described as Bosch 12V 120A and is manufactured in China. It sits in the rotating electrical category and is intended for buyers who are matching the alternator by electrical specification, mounting style and part number rather than by appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is built from high quality raw materials to support long life and consistent operation. As with any alternator replacement, correct identification matters, especially where the application specifies the alternator type, mounting arrangement and whether the unit is the excl. vacuum pump version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBosch alternator, 12V system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120A charge current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart No. 1986A00850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternator type: excl. vacuum pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastening type: double pivot lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 month warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Bosch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Alternator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharge current: 120A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 1986A00850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternator type: excl. vacuum pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastening type: double pivot lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 12 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKnown fitment applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo 147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo 147 2003 to 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo 156\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo 156 2000 to 2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo 166\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo GTV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlfa Romeo Spider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and Buying Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, check the alternator part number 1986A00850 and confirm the unit is the 12V 120A version. The alternator is listed as excl. vacuum pump, so that detail needs to match the vehicle application exactly if the original unit includes, or is designed around, a vacuum pump arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mounting style is identified as double pivot lever fastening type. That matters because alternators can share similar electrical ratings while differing in bracket configuration, pulley arrangement and overall fit. Matching the physical mounting details is just as important as matching the 12V and 120A specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a charging system component, it is sensible to check the V-belt or V-ribbed belt at the same time. The belt condition can affect charging performance and noise, and the alternator listing specifically recommends that additional repair. It is also worth confirming the battery condition and charging circuit once installation is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment information is provided for several Alfa Romeo applications, including 147, 156, 166, GT, GTV and Spider variants. Even where the model name appears familiar, confirm the exact application against the vehicle details, part number and the alternator description before purchase. Small differences in year, engine setup or accessory drive can change compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging size of 23.9 x 20 x 20 may be useful for workshop planning, but it should not be used as a fitment guide. The practical checks are the part number, the 12V 120A rating, the excl. vacuum pump note and the mounting type. Those details give the clearest indication of whether this alternator is the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bosch alternator is sold as a single unit and carries a 12 month warranty. That gives a clear baseline for replacement planning, but it remains important to verify the vehicle’s original charging system specification before fitting. A parts interpreter would always confirm the alternator type, mounting style and application notes rather than relying on model name alone.\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 1986A00850 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, Fastening Type Double Pivot Lever, Recommended additional repairs V-Belt\/V-Ribbed Belt, Packaging width 20, Manufactured in China, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. 1986A00850, Brand BOSCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Description Bosch Alternator 12V 120A, Alternator Charge Current [A] 120, Alternator Type excl. vacuum pump, Packaging length 23.9, Packaging height 20, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBosch Alternator 12V 120A. Part number 1986A00850 should be checked first. Listed output rating is 120. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 1986A00850, 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 output 120 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable application references include ALFA ROMEO 147, ALFA ROMEO 147 2003, ALFA ROMEO 147 2004, ALFA ROMEO 147 2005.
