Alternator OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

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.

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.

Replaced the alternator - twice. The second one failed as a result of a jump start scorching a relay in the voltage :-( Replaced the starter (in 2024), First alternator failed at 49K miles - oddly, when the car came out of the shop, the oil light came on and they found debris in the pick up so I got a new long block (under warranty so I suspect VOA knew of some defect for that model/year). Had one strut bearing fail at about 90K miles. I also had the AC recharged - car actually came from the factory with too much pressure (would ice up on humid days). I've stuck to dealer maintenance for everything except the strut repair and the usual annual CC alignments (well documented issue...) and keep all fluids (coolant/brakes/DSG) fresh. My car is still a daily driver - I'm probably due another battery soon but it runs great. I'm tempted to freshen the struts and control arms and add a rear sway bar - and possibly a tune, but I also see a Golf R in my future! I've run 3 other cars to 250K miles (Volvo 850, Highlander and an Audi 4KQ) and I don't see any reason why the dub can't get to 200K+ particularly if you keep up with a full maintenance plan. You may need to have some carbon blasting done at 100K, have the timing chain tension and service the PCV (leaving that too long leads to the carbon build up in the DI engines) but those are like 50K mile intervals

I have a 2013 manual. I've had to put 3 or 4 alternators in mine. The last one literally lasted a year, luckily it was still under warranty, and I only had to pay for the labor to have it changed out.

I just put a new alternator and the batty is dead again but when I jump it the car run fine until the next .morning I am going Crazy trying to figure this.

I owned one for about a year. Loved the car, wish I could have kept it. That being said, it was only in drivable condition for about half the time I owned it. I replaced the alternator, fixed the air suspension, redid some vacuum lines, tried to repair the front diff, and that's where I gave up.

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.
