Alternator Denso or OEM Volkswagen

I went with a reman denso and it's been a while but I swear I remember reading the remans were better than new.

Only only only get oem alternator. They won’t last otherwise. I believe the brand is denso. Other brand only lasted 3 months in mine.

Get the denso reman. Most reasonable option vs buying a new denso at the dealer. Main difference is no Honda logo otherwise absolutely identical.

Denso reman if you don't want to do this job again.

Replacement is absolutely fine as an option, but I recommend going with a genuine brand as originally specced for the vehicle (Denso, AC Delco etc). Some aftermarket brands like Jaylec (just an example of brand, not quality) aren't built to the same standard and can be underpowered.

Denso, nippon, aisin are the only brands you should be looking at for an acura.

DIY Guy here, I always use Denso parts for my Hondas when it comes to electrical stuff. Denso is the OEM parts supplier for Honda's alternators. I just replaced an alternator in my sister's 2011 Acura RDX with a remanufactured Denso unit and she's had no problems with it at all.

Honda Alternators are crazy expensive. I don\u2019t recommend aftermarket unless you can get a Denso.

Denso. Always Denso. Every other aftermarket alternator I've ever seen is absolute garbage.

Spent 300 on an alternator to get the whole car apart just to find out it was the wrong one
