Alternator OEM Audi or OEM Nissan

The alternator quit on my 2020 Nissan Sentra, and there were NO aftermarket options for it. The dealership wanted $900, JUST for the alternator, so I can actually believe their price.

Mine lasted 270 000 km before needing to be replaced .

Had one do this on me and it was the alternator.

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.

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.

I've gone through 3 Nissan Value Advantage Alternators (through the Infiniti dealership - warranty) for my Q. All Infiniti offers for my year (2015) are Remanufactured Alternators. I'm tired of Remans.

I bought a remanufactured alternator from Autozone and it did not work. I then bought an amazon alternator. It went out 2 weeks later. I then bought the OEM Nissan alternator. I've not had a problem since (6 months)

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

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.
