Alternator OEM Honda or OEM Mazda

the oem has been good for 5 years now

I have a 2001 Honda ST1100 and the bike is a beast. My alternator went out and I had to find a compatible model on ebay because they don't offer the OEM anymore.

Only use Honda oem denso alternator. Yes they are expensive but you will be replacing it again if you use an off brand. Been there, done that.

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.

My 09 just ate its oem alternator also, at 225k miles, but its an EX without VCM. There was some oil in the area but I guess it can’t be from the spool valve listed in the TSB.

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 have a 2002 acura el 1.7... battery lite in. Have put 3 aftermarket alternators in it, a new battery. Replaced all grounds, now replaced the ecm. Battery lite still on and car won't charge.

Labor time is like .7 on the RX8 alternator if I remember my time at Mazda right… imma say like 900 or so for labor is a rip

I've had bad luck with aftermarket alternators. Whether I put them on due to customer request, due to price difference or had them come in with issues. Sometimes not charging while still new, or relatively new. Sometimes the charging light on even though it's charging properly.

HAVE a 2022 CX30 @ 79,000 miles. Alternator went out today
