Used alternators vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Peugeot 106 ran as a single generation from 1991, with a significant facelift in 1996 that updated the bodywork and some mechanicals, so a 1996 and a 1999 car both sit within the post-facelift era. Whether the alternator crosses over depends primarily on the engine code, which you'll find on your V5 or via a VIN check, so share that code with the breaker to confirm the bracket and pulley arrangement match before buying.
Engine code matters more than year for mechanical parts like the alternator — two 106s from the same year can carry different engines with different alternator outputs, mounting positions and pulley sizes. The engine code is stamped on the block and listed on your V5, and it's the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when requesting a quote on Findapart.
No — the alternators for the diesel (HDi or XUD-engined) and petrol variants of the 106 are specific to the engine, with different outputs and mounting arrangements, so these are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker both your fuel type and your exact engine code to make sure the part is sourced from the right donor vehicle.
Trim level does not affect alternator fitment on the Peugeot 106 — what matters is the engine code, not whether the donor car was an XR, XS, Rallye or any other grade. Bear in mind that a Rallye used a specific engine, so confirm the engine code matches rather than relying on the trim name alone, and note that cosmetic or interior differences between trim levels are irrelevant to this part.
The 1996 facelift is the key boundary here, and while some engine families carried across it, ancillary mounting and bracket arrangements can vary between pre- and post-facelift production runs. Name that boundary to your breaker and ask them to confirm against your specific engine code and registration before agreeing a sale, rather than assuming a straight swap.
Have your engine code (from the V5 or a VIN check), fuel type, gearbox type (manual or automatic), and year of manufacture ready — these are the details that most affect fitment for an alternator. Body style and trim level won't affect which alternator you need, so don't worry if you only know the mechanical basics; the engine code is by far the most important piece of information to supply.
