Alternator OEM Audi or OEM BMW

My alternator went and I never had any lights, just weird electrical gremlins and batteries dying. Replaced it myself, took maybe 2 hours and the part was like $150 after the core return

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.

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.

you dont even need ISTA to figure out the alternator is dead. A fresh and charged batter will sit at 13v, used should always be around 12v. while charging it should be 13v. the fact this is dropping while the car is running suggests a shot alternator right off the bat

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

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.

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

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.

We were on our way back from a daytrip when the M3's alternator decided to give up the ghost about 1.5 hours from home.

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.
