Bosch Alternator 12V 150A 1986A00686

This Bosch alternator is a 12V unit with a 150A charge current and part number 1986A00686. It is listed as an alternator passenger application and is supplied as an OE product, which makes it a sensible choice when you are replacing the original charging unit rather than changing the system specification.

The alternator is specified as type excl. vacuum pump, with a Double Pivot Lever fastening type. Those details matter because alternators are not interchangeable on voltage and amperage alone; the mounting style and whether the unit is designed with or without a vacuum pump must match the vehicle application.

A 12 Months warranty is listed for this part. The recommended additional repair is the V-Belt/V-Ribbed Belt, which is a practical point to consider when replacing a charging component, especially if the belt shows wear or age at the same time.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the part number 1986A00686 against the removed alternator and confirm the unit is a 12V, 150A Bosch alternator with an excl. vacuum pump design. The fastening type is Double Pivot Lever, so the mounting arrangement needs to line up with the vehicle’s existing bracket setup.

If you are matching by vehicle, use the application details carefully rather than relying on model name alone. The fitment information includes Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail applications across listed years, plus Renault Kadjar and Renault Megane applications across listed years, but the exact engine or build details still need to be confirmed against the vehicle you are working on.

This is a rotating electrical component supplied as each, so it is intended as a direct replacement part rather than a universal unit. Verifying voltage, charge current, mounting style, and whether the vehicle uses a vacuum pump arrangement will help avoid ordering delays and mismatches.

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 1986A00686 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.
