OE Numbers and Cross-Reference Information

The following cross-reference numbers are associated with A0562. Compare them with the original unit and technical specifications; a number match alone does not establish vehicle compatibility.

The full manufacturer cross-reference and OE listings are available elsewhere on this page. Confirm whether a number is an OE or aftermarket reference when comparing the original unit.

When Should You Replace Your Alternator?

Charging warning lights, repeated loss of battery charge, dim or fluctuating lights and inconsistent electrical operation can indicate a charging-system problem. Battery condition, wiring and the drive belt can produce similar symptoms; arrange a diagnostic check before replacing the alternator.
