I did one on my Wife's 2011 Nissan Quest with the same engine as the Pathfinder.

Original one lasted around 130k miles, so can't really complain.

The one on the Quest wasn't great, but I think I got it done in about 4-5 hours.

Had to pull the lower bumper splash shield, and the passenger fender liner.

Then I unbolted the ac compressor and let it drop down (was able to leave all the refrigerant hoses connected so that was a plus).

The upper bolt was a pain to get to, probably the worst part of the job!

With it unbolted there was just barely room to get it out through the wheel well. If you had it positioned just right it would slip through the opening between the subframe and the frame rail.

Pros: lasted around 130k miles
Cons: upper bolt was pain
Vehicle: Nissan Quest
Mileage: 209215 km

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.

Pros: Fun to drive
Cons: unreliable, frequent alternator issues
Vehicle: Audi
Mileage: 51500 km

Had an alternator problem (which was a recall) that completely shut down the car in the middle of driving (dash and all electronics turned off) leaving me stranded to wait for a tow truck. Audi fixed it for free.

Pros: Audi fixed it for free
Cons: alternator problem, shut down car

Die neueren Generatoren sind heute noch Müll (Haltbarkeit). Musste ich erst in meinem A6 erleben (der zu meinem Glück noch auf Garantie ging). Im RS6 gehen die Dinger auch am laufenden Band flöten.

Cons: schlechte Haltbarkeit, häufige Ausfälle
Vehicle: Audi A6
