Owner reviews for alternator

I\u2019m 43 and only have had 3 cars in my life only Corollas and Camry. I get a new one around 250k miles. They are great reliable cars that run well with basic maintenance. Only wear and tear items have I ever replaced with the exception of an alternateer on one of my corollas at around 200k miles. As long as I can keep going to 250k I will keep buying them.

In place of the Valeo alternator I installed a Bosch VR6 120 amp alternator with a Bosch ABA alternator pulley (its 5 ribs versus 6 ribs of the VR6).

Wai global, I've used it a couple of times now for cash strapped family members and so far (years later) so good

Used wai for my 2015 odyssey. Worked well.

I did my rebuilt denso alternator for $450. Oil changes for $20 ( my oil and filter $40 from walmart) just for comparison. this is on crv.

I had Valeo in my other car, very common for Bosche to overcharge.

Alternator stopped charging while driving and it slung grease all over the engine bay and hood.

Had an alternator problem (which was a recall) that completely shut down the car in the middle of driving (dash and all electronics turned off) leaving me stranded to wait for a tow truck. Audi fixed it for free.

No, don't get the denso remanufactured, because I got mine and it failed right out of the box.

The Denso branded remanufactured alternator arrived from Rock Auto with a broken plastic socket. I arranged a return and replacement, but the second unit also arrived with the exact same damage. I believe the issue is with Denso's factory packaging, as the alternator is placed socket-down without cushioning. I returned the second replacement for a refund.
