Product Description
The Valeo CL8 Alternator is engineered specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, supporting engine sizes 1.0, 1.1, 1.4, 1.4 16V, 1.6, and 1.6 16V. This alternator ensures efficient battery charging and electrical system performance, essential for reliable vehicle operation.
Designed to deliver a steady 14 volts and an 80 amp charging current, this unit includes 6 cooling fins to maintain optimal temperatures during operation. Its 4-point mounting system guarantees secure installation, compatible with factory fitting specifications.
The integrated voltage regulator maintains stable electrical output, protecting sensitive electronic components in the vehicle while optimizing alternator function. Common reasons for alternator failure in these models include worn brushes, diode faults, or bearing wear due to mileage and operating conditions.
Installation and Usage
Replacing the alternator on your Citroën or Peugeot is straightforward for professionals and experienced DIY mechanics. Disconnect the battery first, then remove the drive belt and electrical connectors before detaching the mounting bolts. Installation follows these steps in reverse. Regular inspections every 60,000 to 100,000 km are recommended to prevent unexpected failure.
