Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, compare the part number 439554, the 12V voltage, and the 180A output with the unit being replaced. Alternators can look similar while differing in pulley section, mounting layout, connector style, and regulator type, so those details should all be checked against the vehicle.
The physical dimensions are just as important as the electrical rating. This unit has 177mm mount centres B, 164mm mount centre to centre, a 9mm adjusting hole diameter, and a 64mm pulley outside diameter. If any of those measurements differ from the existing alternator, the part may not mount or line up correctly.
The pulley is a 6 groove design and the rotation is clockwise. That means the belt configuration and mounting orientation need to match the vehicle application exactly. The alternator also has an internal regulator and no connector for revolution counter, which should be confirmed against the original unit before purchase.
Because alternators are fitted to a specific drive setup and charging system, the safest approach is to verify the vehicle details, the original part number, and the connector arrangement together. This is especially important when the replacement is for an Audi A6 or Audi A6 Allroad application, where multiple variants can exist across model years.
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 439554 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.

Valeo Alternator 12V 180A. Part number 439554 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 180. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.
Mount style is Pad. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is 6 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.
For part number 439554, 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.
For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 180 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using the part number 439554, the 12V 180A specification, the pad mount/direct fastening layout, and the listed mounting and pulley measurements before ordering.
