Valeo 175, 185, 318, 320, 323 2009 Parts Catalog

I’ve seen more ignition coil failures than I’ve had hot meals. And the first thing I always tell a junior tech who’s swapping coils on a Valeo system is: if you don’t have the factory part number in front of you, you’re wasting time and money. The Valeo 175, 185, 318, 320, 323 2009 Parts Catalog is what you need on the bench, not some aftermarket PDF that guesses compatibility. This catalog covers 109 pages of OEM-listed ignition coils for those specific models, straight from Valeo’s 2009-2010 production run.

Valeo 175, 185, 318, 320, 323 2009 Parts Catalog Coverage

Page 1 of this catalog lists the full scope: ignition coils for vehicles using LPG, CNG, and conventional gasoline engines. The five model numbers – 175, 185, 318, 320, 323 – cover a range of European and Asian platforms from the 2009 model year. Each entry includes the engine type, cubic capacity, number of cylinders, and the date of application. You do not need to flip through 50 pages to match a VIN – the tables are sorted by model, then by engine variant.

Forget third-party cross-reference charts. This is the original Valeo document, so the part numbers are guaranteed to match what the factory put on the assembly line.

Ignition Coil Types: Wet, Dry, Pencil, and Rail

Page 2 organizes coils by physical design. You get the exact classification – wet coil (oil-filled), dry coil, pencil coil (the stick type), and rail coil (common in modern direct-ignition systems). The catalog lists each coil’s Valeo part number next to its type. If you’re rebuilding a 2009 323 engine that originally had a pencil coil, you’ll find that row in seconds. No guessing if a dry coil will fit – the spec says “Dry Coil” right there.

Also included: part numbers for LPG and CNG variants. Some 318 models came with a factory LPG conversion. This catalog has separate rows for those coils – the winding resistance and insulation differ from the standard gasoline coil.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Catalogs Instead of Aftermarket

One: Aftermarket catalogs often merge multiple model years into one generic line. This Valeo manual stays within 2009-2010 production. Two: The language column on page 1 shows every market language – English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and more. That means the part numbers are the same across regions. Three: OEM catalogs include supersession history. If Valeo updated a part number mid-year, the date-of-application column tells you which serial numbers used the old versus new coil.

If you rely on aftermarket listings, you might end up with a coil that fits mechanically but ignores the electrical spec for CNG-equipped vehicles. That’s a misfire you’ll chase for hours.

How to Read the Vehicle Data Table

Every row on page 2 gives you: vehicle model, engine type (e.g., 2.0L L4), cubic capacity in cc, cylinder count, engine type code, and the Valeo part number. Below that, a second field indicates the coil subtype. The “Date of application” column is critical – Valeo sometimes revises the coil design for the same model and engine code. Use that date range to confirm your vehicle’s build month matches the listed application. For the Automotive Industry Overview, this kind of date-matching is standard, but most aftermarket catalogs skip it.

If you are working on a 2009 320 that was manufactured in August 2009, and the table shows the part number changed in July 2009, you need the later coil. The catalog shows that split. Pay attention.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Catalog?

DIYers who own a 2009 175, 185, 318, 320, or 323 – this is your cheat sheet for ordering the correct ignition coil. Shop owners who service these models will save a phone call to the parts counter by having the Valeo part numbers on hand. For an overview of battery and charging system interaction with ignition coils, see Automotive Battery basics. But for the coil itself, this catalog is the final word.

Does This Catalog Include Wiring Diagrams or Repair Steps?

No. This is a parts catalog – 109 pages of part numbers, coil types, and application data. If you need removal or installation torque specs, you’ll want a separate service manual. But for ordering the correct Valeo coil, this is the source.

Does this catalog include wiring diagrams?

No. It is a parts catalog, not a wiring manual.

How do I find the correct part for a 2009 323?

Go to page 1, find the model number in the vehicle list. Then cross-reference the coil type – wet, dry, pencil, or rail – from the table on page 2. The catalog lists part numbers per engine type and production date. If your engine uses LPG or CNG, there is a separate section. Check the date of application column – some coil variants changed mid-year. Do not guess.

What models are covered beyond 175, 185, 318, 320, 323?

Those five are the only models in the title. Others are not covered.

Is this an OEM manual?

Yes. It is a genuine Valeo parts catalog from 2009, scanned from the original. No aftermarket reprints.

Access the Factory Manual now and keep it on your tablet or print the pages that matter. One wrong part number costs more than this PDF. Get the OEM data for your 175, 185, 318, 320, or 323 and stop wasting time on aftermarket cross-references.
