Description
Product Overview
This alternator is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, providing a reliable source of electrical energy to maintain battery charge and power the vehicle’s electrical systems. With an output charging current of 80 amps and a stable voltage of 14 volts, it ensures optimal performance for a 12V onboard electrical network.
Compatibility and Application
Suitable for a variety of PSA group models, this alternator fits vehicles operating on a 12V electrical system. It is an ideal replacement part for both professional auto mechanics and car enthusiasts performing self-repairs. Its common use includes models such as Citroën C8 and various Peugeot models requiring product codes 9688237380 and 1608066080.
Technical Features and Installation
The alternator is equipped with a freewheel (overrunning) pulley measuring 54 mm in diameter with 6 ribs, designed to reduce belt wear and improve durability. The main terminal is an M8 B+, and the connector type is COM/Lin2 (Plug 223), ensuring straightforward electrical connections. Weighing approximately 5.4 kg, the unit is compact yet robust.
Installation typically involves loosening the drive belt tensioner, removing the old alternator’s mounting bolts, disconnecting electrical connections, and reversing the steps with the new unit. Routine inspection of the alternator belt and connections is advised, as pulley bearing wear or electrical failures can cause alternator malfunction. These parts generally last long but may require replacement after prolonged use or exposure to harsh operating conditions.
