Owner reviews for alternator

I’d get the wai global. The cheapest Rockauto part with the ❤️ has never let me down lol.

The part # for the Alternator (Automatic trans) is 6H903016L and it's made by Bosh. [Europaparts](https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi_2012_A4-Base-Sedan-20L-AT-Quattro/Alternator/48001649/06H903016L.html) sell's it for $499.95 (OEM).

My car started experiencing the same issue as yours. Randomly lose power, no acceleration, give jump start, two days later, the same issue. Had to have it towed to Nissan. Yes, long story short, it does need a genuine OEM Alternator and OEM Battery! For some reason, the 3rd party parts are not as effective in the product. Once placed in my Nissan, it was commented there have been no issues.

The alternator was dead (as expected), and was replaced with a used one that I sourced locally from junkyard.

I ordered a new denso online then had a mobile mechanic come install it for me in my garage.

In my experience, it’s most likely the alternator, I’ve replaced so many I’ve lost count.

My local mechanic put a new alternator in my older Accord late last year. It was around $550, including a new serpentine belt.

13V is normal for a stock Bosch alternator. There are 14V or adjustable voltage regulator available as a replacement.

On my '93 240, I used a 740 external regulator Bocsh alternator...100amps...the problem is is that the voltage regulator takes a dump, which leads to people replacing the entire unit (like me years ago).

I have a shitty looking Ford Focus that I maintain myself...The alternator failed and I couldn't be bothered doing the work myself so I took it to the local dealer.
