Alternator MG 1015
MAHLE alternators act as generators in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery of many large manufacturers. The service life and scope of the electrical system is increasing in practically every brand. At the same time, the space in the engine compartment is being reduced. Therefore, MAHLE has developed extremely robust, powerful, and compact products. With a wide range of products, the right variant is available for every application—and for special cases, our experienced engineers are happy to work as development partners. Our customers can rely on them as well as on our ISO 9001-certified processes and products.
A failure can make itself noticeable as follows:
- The generator isn't charging
- Noises coming from the generator
- The belt is flapping violently
Causes for a defect could be:
- Short circuit during jump-starting or welding; battery not disconnected
- Bearing damage caused by a belt that is too tight
- Defective pulley freewheel
Starter MS 1267
Starter motors from MAHLE are perfect for petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, ships, and stationary generators. Little wonder, as we have developed them for well-known global engine manufacturers. We meet their increasing requirements with ever more efficient, smaller, and lighter reduction gear starter motors that replace our previous direct ones. Thanks to our ISO 9001-certified processes, our customers can rely on MAHLE products for any application—even under the toughest conditions.
A failure can make itself noticeable as follows:
- Engine won't start
- Starter clicks but doesn't turn the engine over
- Starter is making noise
Causes for a defect could be:
- Dead battery, loose cable, or loose ground strap
- Internal combustion engine is sluggish or seized
- Damaged pinion or broken rotor caused by attempting to start the engine while the internal combustion engine is running
