Valeo New 2011 Parts Catalog – OEM Window Regulator Data That Stops Guesswork

If you’ve ever swapped a window regulator with aftermarket parts and had the motor fail in six months, you know the value of getting the right OEM part number the first time. That’s exactly what this Valeo New 2011 Parts Catalog delivers – original factory data for window regulators across multiple makes and models. I’ve seen too many DIY jobs go sideways because someone grabbed a generic regulator that didn’t match the comfort function wiring or had the wrong connector pins. This catalog stops that.

239 Pages of OEM Part Numbers and Symbols

Every page in this catalog is a direct reproduction of Valeo’s own 2011 master list. You get the exact part numbers, application dates, and vehicle classifications that Valeo uses in their production line. No aftermarket re-interpretation, no third-party guessing. The catalog uses standardized symbols – New, Deleted, Saloon, Estate, Convertible, Coupe, LCV – that tell you exactly which regulator fits which body style. If you’ve ever tried to match a regulator by eye and ended up with the wrong cable length, you’ll appreciate having this level of detail in hand.

Window Regulator Fitment by Body Type

The catalog breaks down vehicles by body type: Saloon, Estate, Convertible, Coupe, and Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV). Each entry lists whether the regulator is for Left-Hand Drive or Right-Hand Drive, and whether the vehicle has the Comfort function. That’s critical because regulators with Comfort (anti-trap) often use different motor connectors and cable lengths. I’ve personally chased a door panel removal job that turned into a wiring mess because the DIYer skipped the Comfort check. Don’t be that guy.

Does the Catalog Cover Comfort Function Wiring?

Yes, and it does it clearly. The catalog marks vehicles with Comfort function and without, using specific symbols. It also lists the motor connector pin count – 2, 4, or 8 pins. This is where the aftermarket catalogs usually drop the ball. They’ll show a universal regulator that “fits” 90% of cars, but your BMW with comfort motors will need the 8-pin connector. This catalog tells you what you need before you pull the door card. Pair it with a Valeo Ignition Coils Catalog 2009-2010 if you’re tackling other electrical systems on the same car.

Motor Connector Types: 2, 4, or 8 Pins

Get this wrong and you’re soldering wires at midnight. The catalog documents each regulator with the exact number of motor connector pins. It also shows the electrical symbol for each configuration. You can cross-check your car’s wiring harness against the catalog without pulling anything apart. That’s the kind of time-saver that makes a parts catalog worth owning. For older machinery, see the Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide – different application, same respect for OE data.

Read the Application Date Before Ordering

Valeo includes a specific application date for each part. This isn’t a vague “fits 2000-2010” range – it’s a month and year when that part was used on production vehicles. Why does that matter? Because a single model year can have running changes. A 2011 Ford Focus might switch regulators mid-year. If you order by model year alone, you could get the wrong part. The catalog saves you that return trip. For wear parts like tracks and slides, the Futura Wear Technology Parts Catalog can supplement this data.

Source Authenticity: Valeo Factory, No Reprint

This is a direct scan of the original Valeo publication, not a re-keyed copy. The symbols, abbreviations, and multilingual layout (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and more) are exactly as Valeo printed them. If you’ve ever tried to find a part number on a third-party website that scrapes data from five different sources, you know the frustration of mismatched info. This catalog eliminates that. For a broader understanding of the automotive parts industry, read the Automotive Industry Overview. And if your window regulator issue ties into battery or voltage problems, start with the Automotive Battery basics.

Who Needs This Catalog?

Home garage enthusiasts who are tired of returning parts. DIY mechanics working on multiple brands. Anyone who’s been burned by a “will fit” claim on a regulator. This catalog gives you hard data – part numbers, pin counts, body types, and application dates. It won’t teach you how to install a regulator (that’s a service manual job), but it will make sure you have the right piece before you start. If you’re restoring a car or maintaining a mixed fleet, this is the kind of reference that pays for itself on the first correct order.

What does “New” mean in this catalog?

It means the part was introduced or updated in the 2011 model year. The catalog marks parts as New or Deleted (superseded).

How do I interpret the Comfort function symbol?

Look for the symbol with a small human figure or the word “Confort”. Vehicles with Comfort function use different motor connectors (usually 4 or 8 pins) and may have anti-trap electronics. The catalog shows both variants.

Does this catalog include torque specs for regulator bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It provides part numbers and fitment data only. Torque values are in the vehicle’s workshop manual.

Can I use this catalog to find parts for a 2012 model?

Not reliably. The application dates stop at 2011. Some 2012 vehicles may carry over same parts, but the catalog does not cover them. Always verify production date against the application date column.
