Alternator OEM Audi or Denso

As another recommended I would have gone denso or Bosch or something. But these newer Honda alternators are expensive and around me hard to get.

Exact thing happened to my vehicle earlier this month. Left me stranded. Luckily I was in the last month of warranty and got a shiny new alternator!

Last year I had a similar experience/warnings with my 2021 RS6. Flat bedded to the dealership and they replaced the alternator under warranty.

I did my rebuilt denso alternator for $450. Oil changes for $20 ( my oil and filter $40 from walmart) just for comparison. this is on crv.

Denso remanufactured is solid I’ve had an alternator on my fzj-80 as well as a ac compressor both solid and that’s like 6 years ago

The lowest cost one I see worth buying at RockAuto is the wai global but for 344 you can get a new denso which would be the way I would go if you don't rebuild it yourself

The alternator is a Denso 210-1165, 150-amp unit.

I bought a reman Denso from NAPA. First one worked but sounded like a rattling box of rocks from the getgo. A week later I swapped it out for another Denso Reman and it has been working fine for 3-4 years now.

And try and go with the Denso. Some of those are Chinese sweatshop garbage.

Wouldn\u2019t recommend unless you like spending your time on the side of the road or at the dealer. Mine just went back to my local dealer today for its 4th alternator in 32k total miles, 3rd one in the last 6 months. Literally just got the car back 5 days ago for the same issue.
