Alternator OEM Audi or Mitsuboshi

Just got mine done today. I purchased the car used and was in with Audi chat trying to get the window sticker. They let me know the car had open service action and was for the alternator. Dropped it off and got it back the same day.

I bought my alternator from RockAuto and the Mitsubishi one **IS** the OEM part

Mitsubishi made a heap of OEM parts for other brands. Including alternators for Mazda lol. Also various electronic modules too.

It’s your alternator not the battery, the coding of the battery is important, but will only extend the life battery will not cause it to be dead in three days

Rs6 definitely has an alternator issue. I’m currently at 25k on oem alternator.

It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes

yap mine was gone in less than 30K KM but audi japan replaced it for free.... it sucks... car just died

My Q8 alternator died today. 3 year old car 36k miles on the clock. Luckily I was right next an Audi dealership with a garage when the display panel told me to stop driving and pull over safely. When the mechanics got to the car they couldn\u2019t even start it.

My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.

Mine failed at 55k a couple of weeks ago. A couple months prior to this I had complained to the dealership and showed them all the reports of this issue online... At the time they denied any knowledge of the alternator issue.
