Alternator OEM Honda or Duralast

He replaced the alternator and serpentine belt. Parts $208 for alternator and belt. Labor $100. Limited lifetime warranty on alternator and 3 years on belt. Honda Civic.

Possibly the alternator, mine did that so I bought a brand new duralast gold alternator and it solved so many of my problems.

They're pretty expensive. Our Honda Odyssey needed one and it was $700 remanufactured. The labor is pretty easy but the part is pricey

Had an 04 Euro/Accord for 4 or so years, great car, shocks and springs were too soft so made it floaty on open road so was lowered to decrease body roll with wider rims and it was an absolute pleasure to drive especially with the tiptronic for the twisty stuff. Alternator was all that failed on it.

Just had my 2008 V6 Accord written off after getting rear ended. It had plenty of power and was relaxing to drive, but was a bit soft when it got twisty - but only Rimutaka Hill/Pahiatua track level twisty, and that was coming from a Legacy GTB.

The equipment level is pretty basic but after 190k I'd only had to replace the power steering pump and alternator, and the only interior wear was on the centre console lid.

I’ve never had an issue with a Duralast starter or alternator. However, honestly, I probably wouldn’t put one on my Lexus. I’ve generally shoved them into cheaper and simpler cars.

The refurbished Duralast alternator has worked fine for a few months but the last month I started to hear belt noise and assumed it was related to the alternator. The last couple of weeks I would smell a new unknown burnt smell that smoked like either rubber or electronics which has led me to wonder if the battery/alternator fuses have gone out.

I got a alternator from AutoZone( duralast pos) and a new battery , same thing, car started with new battery ,voltage at the battery was around 12.5 and voltage directly on the alternator was the same exact voltage as the battery which showed the alternator still wasn\u2019t charging I took that alternator out got my money back and went to a reputable alternator and starter shop around my area and got a quality rebuilt one. They tested the alternator before they gave it to me and confirmed it was in working order. I installed it and still the alternator is not charging the battery , i checked voltage directly at the new alternator and still got the same voltage as the battry while the engine was running , so its still not charging the battery or producing power

Believe it or not, though I installed a brand new alternator(Duralast gold) that turned out to be bad from the start and I had to replace it again(so I guess what I’m saying is check the tention on your belt, but don’t rule out the new alternator as - also - being bad), been 2 years since tho.

I would like to add we had to replace my sisters 2016 Honda civic alternator as well and the car rejected the Part we bought. All the lights on the dashboard were on like a Christmas tree.
