BBB Industries 11462 Alternator

Overview

This BBB Industries reman alternator is built for Audi charging-system applications that require a 12-volt, 140-amp unit with a Valeo-style design. It uses an internal regulator, air cooling, and a clutch pulley to match the electrical and belt-drive requirements listed for the application. Part number 11462 is a direct reference for this remanufactured alternator.

Key Features

• 140-amp output for charging-system demand
• Remanufactured alternator with Valeo OE manufacturer reference
• Internal voltage regulator and air cooling
• Clutch pulley with 6-groove serpentine belt design
• Clockwise rotation and negative polarity configuration
• Includes pulley and uses a 9 o'clock plug clock position

Detailed Description

BBB Industries part number 11462 is a reman alternator engineered around the listed Valeo unit specification and 12-volt electrical architecture. The unit features a decoupled clutch pulley, internal fan, and internal regulator to support stable charging performance in the specified Audi applications. With a 2-3/8 inch pulley diameter and serpentine belt compatibility, this alternator is configured for the belt-drive and connector layout called out in the fitment data. This part cross-references Audi OE numbers 06E-903-016Q and 06E-903-016QX for the same application.

Compatible with Audi Q5, Audi A5 Quattro, and Audi A4 Quattro applications listed below, this alternator is a fitment-specific replacement for vehicles using the matching Valeo-style charging system. Part number 11462 should be matched to the original unit’s pulley, plug position, and amperage rating before installation.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring battery charging output when the alternator is no longer maintaining system voltage
• Replacing a worn clutch pulley or internal regulator assembly
• Addressing charging warnings, dim lights, or low-voltage conditions
• Replacing a failed reman alternator in Valeo-based charging systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original alternator’s amperage rating, pulley type, pulley groove count, rotation direction, and plug clock position before ordering. Confirm the vehicle’s charging-system configuration against the fitment notes, including the listed climate-control note for the A5 Quattro application. Use the vehicle’s service information to confirm belt routing and electrical connector alignment during installation.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactured electrical components are built to meet application-specific replacement requirements using the OE manufacturer reference listed in the product data. Part number 11462 is specified for the Audi charging-system applications shown in the fitment table.
