Alternator Denso or VALEO

I’ve used this company for my last few Hondas and they have been great. Not one issue and the most recent was my wife’s 9th gen V6 sedan a couple months ago which I bought from RVV. The newer Hondas have the ELD system which doesn’t seem to play nice with any alternator other than Denso and these rebuilt ones by RVV are of high quality.

I recently replaced my alternator on my 07 SI. Very easy and there are YouTube videos on it. Good time to replace serpentine belt if its cracked at all too. I went with a used OEM unit from eBay from a 2010 crv and it's been working great.

My 2012 EX-L received a Denso at 80k miles and that was 2 yrs ago.

Denso only for me, in a Denso box.

New Alternator for $647 (+shipping)

I like the [Denso alt for a Suzuki](https://adventuretaco.com/go/denso-210-0461-105a-remanufactured-alternator/), which is plug-and-play and does 105A. That's a \~50% increase over stock and quite a bit less expensive than the TAE.

Cheapest for me was a new Valeo unit from Rockauto. Cheaper than Turner too.

I’d recommend DENSO reman as they make a bunch of OEM stuff for our cars. Recently put a denso in my car after I got the pure energy brand on rock auto that failed.

Don't buy a Remanufactured They Always Whine And Won't work the first Time Buy Them New From Denso

I had this happen with a new Denso out of the box for my Subaru and didn’t notice the battery light wasn’t turning on for the bulb check (and in turn not charging my battery) but it also wasn’t turning on to warn me that it wasn’t charging so I thought it was all good, until my car died pulling into a parking spot lol, found that the voltage regulator had a bad ground path inside the alternator so the charging circuit would never turn on.
