The key specification to verify is 12V with 180A charge current, because alternators with different output ratings are not interchangeable just by appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fastening type is double pivot lever, so bracket style and mounting arrangement need to line up with the vehicle. It is also sensible to inspect the V-Belt or V-Ribbed Belt condition at the same time, as Bosch lists that as a recommended additional repair when fitting this alternator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a charging-system component, compare the old unit, the part number, and the mounting details together rather than relying on a visual match alone. The listed 12 month warranty applies to the Bosch unit itself, but correct identification of the application remains the buyer’s responsibility.\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 1986A00768 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 PASSENGER, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty 12 Months, Fastening Type Double Pivot Lever, Recommended additional repairs V-Belt\/V-Ribbed Belt, Packaging width 18.5, Manufactured in China, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. 1986A00768, Brand BOSCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Description Bosch Alternator 12V 180A, Alternator Charge Current [A] 180, Alternator Type excl. vacuum pump, Packaging length 24, Packaging height 20, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBosch Alternator 12V 180A. Part number 1986A00768 should be checked first. Listed output rating is 180. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number 1986A00768, 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 passenger in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed output 180 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable application references include AUDI A4, AUDI A4 2007, AUDI A4 2008, AUDI A4 2009.

Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please confirm compatibility by matching Bosch part number 1986A00768, 12V 180A output, excl. vacuum pump configuration, and double pivot lever mounting against the original part and vehicle application before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the part number for this Bosch alternator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part number is 1986A00768.
