Owner reviews for alternator
Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
I have had a Chrysler 300 for 10 years, and it has now 160k km. The only things I had to change were an alternator, a battery, and 3-4 tire sets... it is a 2013 model 3lt turbo diesel.
Good job OP. I had the battery light turning on/off for months and figured it was the alternator(newish battery). Was about to purchase a reman Denso for $160, but glad I found a video of Timmy the Toolman on youtube before purchasing and went this route. Pretty easy and straightforward.
I'm guessing you could be Australian the labour charge would be somewhere between 120 and 150 per hour plus parts which retail close to 550 for a good quality Bosch unit so your not too far off the mark with the quote.
I\u2019ve had an ac delco alternator from rock auto in my Honda Fit for 7 years now.
Go for a Denso alternator if they have it.
Im having the same issue with my 08 jetta 2.5, replaced the alternator and voltage regulator because the car battery wasnt charging anymore. Anyways replaced the alternator and then I had a high voltage issue with the regulator
FWIW I bought an oreilly\u2019s remanufactured for my e34 a few years ago. It failed and was replaced twice in two years until I just bought the Bosch from FCP. No issues since.
Hyundai's and Kia's absolutely do not play nice with aftermarket alternators such as Napa and Autozone. I tried them both and they failed within days (Napa was about 1 week) I finally installed the Hyundai/Kia part and it has been fine since.
