Owner reviews for alternator

I put a remanufactured Autozone on mine in a pinch because that’s all the was available. Never trusted it. Replaced it about a year later with the Denso remanufactured for peace of mind.… when I took the autozone one off the bearing was squeaking pretty bad. Denso has given me zero problems, going on about 4 years.

The OEM alternator is only 55 amps and costs nearly $400, which is stupid expensive and wholly inadequate for off-road lighting, audio amplifiers, and other additional accessories so I decided to go with the CS130D GM alternator, purchased for under $100 new (no core charge) and has a 130 amp capacity.

I'm getting 14.8v from the upgraded alternator at 700rpm and maintaining 14.2v when every possible accessory and light is turned on at idle.

I just did a standard exchange on mine (Valeo 120A), paid 300€ deposit included, so it's definitely a good deal.

I changed my old valeo 90amp to hella 120amp about a month ago and it works perfectly, so you'll probably be fine.

In your case I would say just buy a new replacement alt from a name brand like Delco Remy or Bosch, none of this parts store rebuilt junk, you'll just be doing the job over again soon.

Bosch, Valeo, or Denso would be my top choices. Don't get a Chinese one. Shit won't last at all.

Way too much, 2007 accord my son paid 425 for a denso alt.

Honda Alternators are crazy expensive. I don\u2019t recommend aftermarket unless you can get a Denso.

My Q8 alternator died today. 3 year old car 36k miles on the clock. Luckily I was right next an Audi dealership with a garage when the display panel told me to stop driving and pull over safely. When the mechanics got to the car they couldn\u2019t even start it.

I've got this bosch OEM alternator i pulled off my car a while back. Because, well; it looked like a fire hazard after years of oil accumulation. Replaced it with a TYC Alternator from Rock Auto that throws a whole bunch of codes.
