New OEM Valeo 180 Amp
Only for V6 diesel, decoupling pulley is included. NOTE:
These are NOT interchangeable with 220 amp alternator as the ECU on
each vehicle is pre-programmed for one of two versions and this cannot
be modified. The
220 Amp alternators are used on those models with a secondary A/C
compressor (Roof-mounted A/C units). If in doubt, look at the black
plastic backing plate on the alternator. It will be marked either 180
or 220.
Detailed Description
Sprinter II 2007-2018 3.0 V6 Diesel
This is the identical alternator sold at a franchise Dodge dealership,except our unit is brand new and not remaufactured, as is the unit from a Dodge dealer. No core deposit is required for this unit. If you purchase this from Dodge, you will be charged an additional $40.00 core deposit.To check the integrity of your
alternator pulley, simply remove the belt and place a screwdriver into
the front of the alternator cooling fan to stop the armature from
rotating. Then turn the pulley by hand. If it moves one direction but,
not the other, it is functional. If it will not rotate at all, it has
failed.
IMPORTANT: Unlike the earlier model Sprinters, it is not possible to modify or upgrade the 2007 and later NCV3 models to a higher output alternator. The voltage regulator in these units is hard-wired with a Local Interface Network or LIN code in the engine control unit. Therefore, do not attempt to retrofit a 220 Amp unit to a 180 Amp unit or vice versa.
