Alternator Denso or OEM BMW

Did my own alternator, Denso 300.00. Took about an hour.

Alternators do like to go out on ISs. Burning smell and whining is the telltale signs of it going out.

Denso. Expensive but, my last one lasted 25 years lol.

DENSO remanufactured is solid.

Get Denso 2104148 that’s what I recently got. Works great!

I put a remanufactured Autozone on mine in a pinch because that’s all the was available. Never trusted it. Replaced it about a year later with the Denso remanufactured for peace of mind.… when I took the autozone one off the bearing was squeaking pretty bad. Denso has given me zero problems, going on about 4 years.

The next best thing for Honda is DENSO as they are the actual OEM supplier. 90% chance ur old alternator says DENSO on the side (as long as it's the original).

I just had everything you mentioned done on my 2017 Camry. I paid about 900 but the alternator was denso which makes oem parts for Toyota.

Replaced mine with a denso from rockauto. Unfortunately, the battery light stays on even though the voltage readings are good and have been driving like this for almost a year now.

When my alternator went out I got an aftermarket that failed within the week. Afterwards I was told that the element alternator is in a spot that gets more heat than a normal car so it needs a higher temp solder. I got the denso oem after and it’s still good after 5 years
