Alternator OEM Audi or OEM Nissan

I replaced mine with a Nissan Quest alternator works pretty well and is cheaper with a higher current output there is a write up in the forums for it

I purchased a 2002 Nissan Quest alternator for my 2002 Xterra. It bolts right up. 120 amps instead of 80 amps.

I'm a little biased towards the Z32- Winter mode Summer wheels I love how it drives, feels and looks. ~80k miles since 2003 I've replaced the alternator a couple times, high pressure power steering hose, a couple injectors, the clutch twice and many tires.

I had the alternator changed in one of my Phaetons. The overhead light was fluctuating when the engine was running. The problem was fixed when the tech replaced the alternator under warranty.

I have 155k on my 2002 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab 4 cylinder 4x2. No real problems besides a bad alternator and rear e-brake cable that I just replaced

Bought a '91 XE 5 speed in 1996. Sold in 2000. Took it from about 60K to 150K. Pros: Gas Mileage--High 30s, never saw 40 like some people. 5 speed helped keep it peppy. Anvil like reliability. Replaced alternator and clutch.

I went and purchased an OEM alternator from Nissan and it is still not providing power. I have triple checked all the connections on the alternator, and have verified they are running 12V when the engine is shut off.

Audi really dropped the ball on building such a poor performing alternator!

So I go to get some iced coffee because Dunkin just came out with pumpkin and the car doesn't start. Sputters. So I call roadside assistance for a jump. They tell me it can't be jumped and it's probably my starter. Real kicker is I then call for a tow, tow guy shows up and jumps it???? So I HESITANTLY drive it to the dealer who determines it's a bad alternator.

I had an issue on my 88 300ZX where a failed alternator burned out the ALT link. This is a connection between the alternator and the battery.
