On my 2010 Corolla I replaced it with a Duralast one and it lasted a couple months, then I replaced it with a Denso one and haven't thought about it since. Cars got almost 250k miles on it.
I supply Denso alternators for d3,4 Rrs
Denso is the OEM. I chose to rebuild mine with new bearings and brushes from Honda. The rectifier was the actual bad part, though. I put an aftermarket rectifier in for $30.
I got denso on my car and it's perfectly fine
Denso by a very wide margin. The rest are not even close in quality.
Buy Denso remanufactured alternators only. Many many people have reported problems on Odys and Pilots with other brand alternators. Remanufactured and in a Denso box is what you want.
I thought Valeo was OEM? Cost me like $250 and was a perfect match.
Try a Denso alternator. Somtimes those cheap ones at the auto stores just dont last.
Drives fine, maybe a bit of whirr from the alternator area but hard for my ears to tell of that's out of normal none of the unhappy noise from before battery kicked it.
my local garage replaced with an aftermarket. Two weeks ago the squeak of bad bearings arrived and *it* had to be replaced. A different mechanic (Honda specialist) said OEM parts were very hard to find, even here in Los Angeles, so they installed a better aftermarket alternator. That was a squeaker. Then they installed another: squeaker. Now I'm waiting for the delivery of a Denso alternator from Texas that's arriving on Friday. $100 more but I've got my fingers crossed.
