Owner reviews for alternator

Denso. Expensive but, my last one lasted 25 years lol.

DENSO remanufactured is solid.

Solid high amp alternators I would only buy from a trusted brand to ensure reliability and claimed power output. I’ve been looking at high output alternators myself and research shows [Singer](https://www.facebook.com/share/1esyUAZ6JF/?mibextid=wwXIfr) to have a solid backing. Each alternator is built to order.

Get Denso 2104148 that’s what I recently got. Works great!

Id go with whatever fcpeuro recommends. Aka valeo, bosch (which are both oems)

Buy the Bosch it's a direct OEM REPLACEMENT alternator it's probably still going to need programmed via vcds to allow the computer to adapt to the voltage change of the new alternator

mine is a Valeo alternator and though you are probably correct, this is the original alternator (22 years old) and it will probably get me through another few years at least.

IMHO this is not going to work. The brushes and slide rings lifespans are about the same so IMHO you must replace whole set if you expect this to be a permanent fix. Also, you have to clean the housing from old copper dust and graphite.

I recently removed the old Alternator (Valeo OEM) in my 2011 Hyundai Accent and went to replace it with a new Denso alternator and it won\u2019t fit into the bracket above the oil filter. After measuring the mounting spacing of both I found that the new one is 2\u201d wide and old one is 2 1/8\u201d.

This was a new genuine Volvo alternator I had Volvo put in, not a cheap or rebuilt part. Also, the battery is only about a year old. Could this really be a failing alternator or could something else be going on?
