BBB Industries 13998 Alternator

BBB Industries 13998 Reman Alternator

BBB Industries 13998 is a reman alternator built for 12-volt charging systems with a 140-amp output. It uses an internal voltage regulator, air cooling, and a clutch-style decoupled pulley to match the OE-style Bosch application found on select Volvo models.

Key Features

• 140 amp amperage rating for steady charging output
• 12 volt alternator with internal voltage regulator
• OE manufacturer reference: Bosch
• Clutch pulley included with 6-groove serpentine belt drive
• Counterclockwise rotation direction
• Air-cooled design with internal fan
• Negative polarity and 1 o'clock plug clock position

Product Details

This BBB Industries reman alternator, part number 13998, is built for Volvo charging system applications that require a Bosch-style unit with a decoupled clutch pulley. It is listed for 2001-2004 Volvo S60, 2002-2004 Volvo S60, 2003-2004 Volvo XC90, 2001-2004 Volvo V70, 2003-2004 Volvo XC70, 2004 Volvo S40, 2004 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo V40, and 2003 Volvo S40 and V40 applications. This part cross-references Genuine 8622186 for the same application.

As a remanufactured alternator, this unit is intended to restore charging performance in vehicles that rely on a 140 amp Bosch alternator configuration. The pulley type, groove count, rotation direction, and plug position are important details for proper electrical and belt-system matching on Volvo S40, Volvo S60, Volvo V70, and related models.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or failing alternator with low charging output
• Correcting battery warning lights caused by charging system faults
• Addressing dim lights or unstable electrical performance
• Restoring proper battery charging after alternator bearing or regulator wear
• Matching OE-style Bosch alternator fitment on select Volvo vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s pulley style, plug clock position, rotation direction, and amperage rating before installation. This alternator uses a serpentine belt drive with a clutch pulley and negative polarity, so the existing belt routing and electrical connector must match the application. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year, model, and charging system configuration before replacing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries reman alternators are remanufactured to meet application-specific electrical and mechanical requirements for OE-style replacement use. This unit is built around the Bosch alternator design used in the listed Volvo applications.
