Description

The Mitsubishi CL8+ alternator with an integrated voltage regulator is designed specifically for a range of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This alternator is a crucial component responsible for maintaining the proper charging voltage of your battery and powering electrical systems during engine operation.

Alternators like the CL8+ convert mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy, ensuring consistent battery charge and stable operation of electrical accessories such as lights, infotainment, and engine control units. The integrated regulator maintains the alternator output voltage within safe limits, protecting the vehicle’s electrical components from voltage spikes and overloads.

This alternator commonly fits various PSA group vehicles with product numbers 9660055080 and 5705CW, often sought by both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts for replacement or upgrade purposes. Replacement typically involves disconnecting the battery, loosening the drive belt, removing electrical connectors, and unbolting the alternator from its mounting, followed by installing the new unit in reverse order.

Alternators can fail due to worn brushes, bearing wear, internal diode faults, or regulator malfunction, leading to battery drain or electrical issues. Regular inspection helps prevent complete failure and ensures vehicle reliability.
