OEX Alternator 12V 80A Bosch Style BXA017

The OEX Alternator BXA017 is a new 12V, 80A unit built in Bosch style with an internal regulator and a 6 groove pulley. It is listed with a multi leg alternator mount, 56mm pulley outside diameter, 56mm mount leg thickness, and 157mm mount centre-to-centre measurement, so the physical fit needs to be checked carefully against the vehicle’s original alternator.

This alternator is sold as each and carries a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. The unit weighs 6.28kg and suits Bosch applications, which makes the part number and mounting dimensions the key reference points when comparing against the existing part.

OEX notes that its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, and that they are sourced from ISO9001 certified factories. For buyers, the practical takeaway is straightforward: confirm the electrical rating, pulley style, regulator type, and mounting arrangement before ordering, rather than relying on appearance alone.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this OEX alternator to the unit already fitted to the vehicle, start with the part number BXA017 and the Bosch style application. The important physical points here are the 12V system voltage, 80A output, 6 groove pulley, 56mm pulley outside diameter, and the multi leg mounting arrangement with 157mm mount centre-to-centre spacing.

The mounting details matter as much as the electrical rating. This unit uses 10mm pivot and adjusting holes, 56mm mount leg thickness, and an internal regulator, so even a close-looking alternator can be wrong if the bracket style or pulley layout differs from the original.

If the vehicle uses a different pulley section, regulator arrangement, or mounting pattern, the alternator may not be suitable. It is best to compare the old alternator directly with the listed measurements, then check whether the application is listed for the vehicle make and model before ordering.

The warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, but that does not replace fitment checking. Correct application confirmation still comes down to the vehicle details, the original alternator specs, and whether the Bosch style mount and pulley match what is already installed.

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 BXA017 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.

OEX Alternator 12V 80A Bosch Style. Part number BXA017 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 80. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Multi Leg. 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 BXA017, 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 80 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include ALFA ROMEO GTV, ALFA ROMEO GTV 1998, ALFA ROMEO GTV 1999, ALFA ROMEO GTV 2000, AUDI Q3, AUDI Q3 2014. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number BXA017, the Bosch style application, and the listed mounting and pulley measurements before purchase. Vehicle compatibility should be matched against the original alternator and application details, as fitment is dependent on the exact vehicle setup.
