- Vehicle Equipment: Specifically configured for vehicles with Start-Stop functionality.
Fitment And Compatibility
This alternator fits a range of PSA Group applications using the 1.6 e-HDI engine where Valeo CL15 units are specified. Common product codes associated with this unit include 9675753680, 1625944380 and 5705PA. Always verify the part number and connector configuration against the vehicle’s original unit before purchase. The unit is commonly used on Citroën and Peugeot models that require a high-output, Start-Stop compatible alternator.
Installation And Replacement Notes
Replacement is straightforward for a skilled mechanic or experienced DIYer. Basic steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal, loosen and remove the drive belt, disconnect electrical plugs and the battery charging output stud, unbolt the 4 mounting fasteners, remove the old alternator and install the new unit in reverse order. Ensure correct belt routing and tension after installation and check charging voltage with the engine running. Because this alternator lacks a tachometer connector, confirm vehicle wiring harness compatibility prior to fitting.
Common Failure Modes And Maintenance
Alternators typically fail due to worn bearings, degraded brushes or slip rings, failed diodes or voltage regulator issues, belt wear or improper tension, and contamination from oil or coolant leaks. Start-Stop systems increase duty cycles and can accelerate wear. Regular inspections of the drive belt, pulley condition and electrical connections will extend service life. Measured charging voltage should typically be around 13.8–14.4 V with the engine running; persistent deviation warrants further diagnosis.
