I replaced the alternator on my 2012 Odyssey the day before yesterday. Rebuilt Denso (I saw several suggestions online to -not- stray from Denso for this vehicle). was\\~$250 at Napa, after I got my core deposit back.
Hi all, after a long time, the problem solved by instaling a non refurbished Valeo alternator. Same one as the refurbished was.
Replaced the alternator and everything is cool, but I'm keeping an eye on it. Oh, and the brushes on the voltage regulator from the old alternator were shot, no wonder the ozone smell, they were barely making contact. This is a Valeo alternator, not the Bosch, and the car is a 2.0 AT.
Get a factory Denso if you can but if not the O'Reillys alternator are good quality, we install a few a month and haven't had a comeback.
My alternator just went on my 2008 FJ TT, and I ended up getting a Denso alternator, which works great, but I o nm ly bought it because it was the only one in town.
Get a DENSO brand remanufactured alternator. Parts store house brands are shit.
I recommend DB electrical for a stock, everyday use replacement. I have one going for about 4 years now, and I abuse it heaving as it's on a truck with a plow motor. Want the best in the business? Get a Denso alternator, they will last forever.
The Denso remans are pretty great, as they are also an alternator manufacturer.
my car had a 120A valeo, total b!tch to get out even with the front end removed, hard to get the ground wire off, will put the new one on in the AM
My mk3 golf is at the shop right now because I installed a replacement valeo alternator and it didnt seem like a perfect fit and shredded up the serpentine belt. I think the shop I got the replacement from gave me a bad fit.
