Alternator OEM Honda or OEM Volvo

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.

I have a honda crv and it went out today. I ordered the alternator on amazon which cost me about 200.00 and it only takes 1-2:hours.

Generally, it's best to go with new OEM (Honda) parts. My second choice is aftermarket, new or rebuilt parts. That said, in all my years at wrenching I've had great luck with aftermarket from reputable (NAPA, Duralast, etc) stores with good warranties.

Honda uses great parts. They're expensive though. I had to buy the OEM alternator for my CRV from the dealer (because that was the only one I could get in one day) and it was 700 bucks

I know my 2005 S60 alternator has a chip in it that is necessary to talk to the car's ECU so be careful buying aftermarket.

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 100A alt from a 900 series and it keeps me powered, but barely. And if I have the stereo loud + headlights and fogs and a/c, I get belt squeal.

I was tired leaving work and my alternator died.

I got this message when the mechanic replaced my alternator with a non-OEM unit that didn't have a voltage regulator.
