Alternator OEM Audi or Mitsuboshi

hope you got her fixed up... had a similar issues pulled my alt and gave her a deep CLEAN and working again but ordered this up [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx\\_yo2ov\\_dt\\_b\\_fed\\_asin\\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) exact part number from mitsu cross referenced. EXACT FIT AND WORKS LIKE A CHAMP now to have the OEM rebuilt and have it as a spare

I used an Audi B6 alternator in my TDi Touareg. I could have repaired it but it was cheap enough to buy. It's an easy job too.

I had my alternator go out on me at 165,000 KM on my audi S3 2015, got a rebuild for half the price of a brand new one and since it's a rebuild the warranty on it is for 2 years. Paid roughly 500 bucks and 100 for labor.

+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).

My alternator died in 32k kilometers.. (Audi Japan took care of it so not that bad). Otherwise the 3 lit twin turbo engine is amazing.

I love driving it on the highways, however small roads in Tokyo and small parkings are a bit challenging sometimes but the 4 wheel steering comes handy.

Well, I'm late to the party, my alternator failed today at 45,000ish miles. Oh, and 2 months after the warranty expired. The silver lining is that my buddy owns a shop that works on Audis.

My audi B5 will absolutely refuse to use anything but OEM for the alternator

Also today, need naman bilhan ng alternator which is 40k yung genuine parts kasi nag oovercharge yung battery and other things pa na di ko pa alam kung anong sira yung lalabas pa.

My vehicle had this issue and they said it was because there was a bad batch of batteries in some of the models which was causing the alternator to fail. I had several issues with this vehicle around 50k miles such as failed alternator which was replaced because of the warranty but this should be a recall!!! Very dangerous and unreliable.

I've just got this issue in my Q8 in UK. I kept telling my service centre about the alternator but they said no recall. Going to give them an angry call tomorrow since car dead. Luckily have extended warranty, rac quote is \u00a33K!
