Owner reviews for alternator

Honda OEM alternator

I bought a new WAI one and it has been going without issue for over a year.

Paid $1,214 out the door. Alternator... No experience with cars and don\u2019t feel comfortable installing myself. Based off local availability, I can\u2019t imagine an option I would\u2019ve been happier with. Of course it\u2019s overpriced, but I can justify the spend based off how seamless the experience was.

I've been daily driving, road-tripping, and wheeling my 100 from 190k miles to its current 283k. Never once has it left me stranded. In that time I've replaced the alternator

I went through 3 OEM Denso's before going with an OE (Land Rover stamped) Denso. Presto! No more charging light.

I changed out my original Valeo alternator with a Bosch unit at 100k miles. Never had a problem with either one.

I bought a Bosch reman for my X5 about 3 years ago, no issues whatsoever.

Purchase a new or remanufactured Denso or TYC alternator. Most others are a roll of the dice in terms of lasting longer than 12months.

I haven't had this problem with my RX8, but I had a similar problem with my Ford. Alternator was putting out 14.4V, but I still had a light. Took it to the parts store and they hooked it up to their tester. It said the Alternator was no good.

I’m having this same issue without the positive results. Brand new alternator battery is good. It does not drive! Turns itself off and says charging system malfunction.
