FWGC 11188R Alternator

Alternator Overview

This 12-volt alternator is built to deliver the amperage needed for modern electrical loads. The Valeo-based design uses internal regulation, an internal fan, and a 6-groove serpentine pulley for stable charging performance.

Compatible with Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Tiburon, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Sportage applications, this alternator is identified by part number 11188R. It also cross-references BBB Industries 11188 for the same application.

Key Features

• 120-amp output for charging system demand.
• Internal regulator for integrated voltage control.
• Clockwise rotation with a 6-groove serpentine pulley.
• Valeo family construction with proprietary components and processes.
• Pulley included for a complete replacement assembly.

Detailed Description

Power Select alternators are engineered for vehicles that require dependable electrical output under everyday driving conditions. This unit is a 12V alternator with a 120-amp rating, internal fan, internal regulator, and clockwise rotation. The included pulley is configured for a serpentine belt drive, and the Valeo family design supports consistent charging performance in applications such as the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.

Part number 11188R is a direct replacement option for listed fitments, including 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and 2005-2009 Kia Sportage, Valeo unit applications. It also fits 2005-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, 2005-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2005 Hyundai Sonata, and 2005-2006 Kia Magentis and Kia Optima, all in the positions shown in the fitment data.

What It Helps Solve

• Low charging output from a worn alternator.
• Battery warning lights caused by charging system failure.
• Electrical instability from inconsistent voltage regulation.
• Accessory performance issues under higher electrical demand.
• Noise or belt-drive concerns related to a failing pulley assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley groove count, belt type, rotation direction, and amperage rating before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s charging system requirements and match the listed fitment exactly. Part number 11188R should be compared against the original unit and any Valeo-specific application notes before replacement.
