- 105 amp amperage rating
- 100% new, not remanufactured

Product Details
WAI engineers this alternator to supply the electrical output needed for modern vehicle loads. The 11049N uses proprietary components and manufacturing processes to support long service life and consistent performance. For Mini Cooper owners, this alternator is a direct replacement choice for charging-system repair on 2002-2003 Mini Cooper and 2004-2008 Mini Cooper applications with the NDenso 105 amp setup. The WAI 11049N also cross-references BBB Industries 11049 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Battery warning light caused by low charging output
- Dim headlights or unstable electrical performance
- Battery drain from an alternator that is not charging correctly
- Charging-system failure on Mini Cooper models with the NDenso 105 amp unit
- Noise or belt-drive issues related to a worn alternator pulley assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify pulley groove count, rotation direction, and amperage rating before installation. This unit uses an internal regulator and a serpentine belt pulley with 6 grooves, so matching the original electrical and belt-drive configuration is important. Confirm fitment for your Mini Cooper by year and charging-system specification before replacing the alternator.
Quality Assurance
WAI builds this alternator as a new unit rather than a remanufactured part, using proprietary components and processes aimed at consistent output and service life. It is engineered for the electrical demands of today’s vehicles and for direct replacement use on the listed Mini Cooper applications.
