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.
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.
Had an 06 accord euro, put 80k on it, sold it at 320k.
Only had alternator and starter motor done in that time.
An Accord Euro with the K24 is such a good car. I had one for a couple of years, the alternator died and that's all that went wrong with it. It had done near 300 when l sold it.
The voltage regulator on the alternator is bad.
I have a 19 Accord. The alternator is buried under the intake manifold. It has to come off. That means draining the cooling system.
November of 2023 I had to replace the alternator. I purchased an aftermarket and had a mechanic friend install it for me. 6 weeks later it started acting up again and left me stranded. The battery tested good, alternator was bad. I returned the alternator and was warranted a second one. Roughly 2 months later, the battery light comes on while I am out of town. I pulled into a local parts store and had it tested. Battery tested fine. Alternator tested bad. The Nissan dealership says it is the alternator. But since I had not used a factory alternator that was the problem. Apparently the aftermarket alternators can not handle the load and are not set up properly.
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.
I was tired leaving work and my alternator died.
