OEM alternator ampere rating

Hi! For a 2002 S60 AWD, what is the ampere rating of the OEM alternator? I'm seeing 120A, 140A, and 160A at ipd, fcpeuro, and ebay, but could not say which one is OEM. Any help pls? Thanks.

I would be the one to grab the highest ampere rating. It will be more robust, able to handle the current, and if your vehicle uses a lower rating one anyhow you more than likely wont have to replace it again. (from my undedrstanding, and if it is labeled correctly.)

hope this helps!

If you would like to send us your VIN we may be able to determine the amperage or at the very least the OE part number.

Thanks,
Benny
