Owner reviews for alternator

I recently replaced my alternator on my 07 SI. Very easy and there are YouTube videos on it. Good time to replace serpentine belt if its cracked at all too. I went with a used OEM unit from eBay from a 2010 crv and it's been working great.

My 2012 EX-L received a Denso at 80k miles and that was 2 yrs ago.

Denso only for me, in a Denso box.

New Alternator for $647 (+shipping)

He replaced the alternator and serpentine belt. Parts $208 for alternator and belt. Labor $100. Limited lifetime warranty on alternator and 3 years on belt. Honda Civic.

I like the [Denso alt for a Suzuki](https://adventuretaco.com/go/denso-210-0461-105a-remanufactured-alternator/), which is plug-and-play and does 105A. That's a \~50% increase over stock and quite a bit less expensive than the TAE.

I have many issues with fomoco products when replacing alternators. If not oem they tend to crap out quickly or not work altogether.

I've replaced the alternator Bosch 0124615028 with an identical part number one. Then I replaced the F00M-145-435(or 385 depending on where you look) regulator on it with a AS-PL ARE0075P. Both regulates to the same voltage, 14.2V.

I had this happen with a new Denso out of the box for my Subaru and didn’t notice the battery light wasn’t turning on for the bulb check (and in turn not charging my battery) but it also wasn’t turning on to warn me that it wasn’t charging so I thought it was all good, until my car died pulling into a parking spot lol, found that the voltage regulator had a bad ground path inside the alternator so the charging circuit would never turn on.

I've gone through three Denso alternators in the last 4 years! This last one went almost two years before going out.
