Owner reviews for alternator

i had the same exact problem. tested the battery and alternator, both tested good. came across a fanactic VW mechanic. told him my problem, he test drove it for a couple of minutes. then he told me it was my alternator. my alternator is going bad. so i took his advise, bought a new bosch, and now, new more red light. plus the new alternator seemed to give me more power, thats from what i feel. probably just my imagination.

I had to replace the alternator and battery in my '99 Blazer because the voltage regulator slowly failed, after I replaced them I noticed the dim/flickering interior lights came back to full intensity and the annoying whine coming from my speakers dissapeared

well i need a alternator because my bearing is about to fail and my buddy is selling me a BRAND NEW bosch unit for 50 bucks so why not...

I got a bosch when mine died on me. No complaints :thumbup:

I have 155k on my 2002 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab 4 cylinder 4x2. No real problems besides a bad alternator and rear e-brake cable that I just replaced

my alternator is of the clutched variety. Its from a 1997 and will not contribute to the crank nose keyway issue. 90A Bosch $35 plus shipping

That Beretta served her well for years, with only a typical alternator issue being a problem later in it's life.

Right now I have an intermittent problem on my Range Rover, darn alternator works when cold, voltage rises to 18 when hot.

alright guys...i charged the battery and it started right up...put my meter on the batter with it running and it just kept going down in voltage over a 10 min span...so i would say the alt is bad...

I had a Bosch reman that self-machined itself to pieces in less than a year on my street car - the car that rarely saw more than 5K rpms. The Bosch replacement seemed to work OK but I sold the car shortly thereafter.
